You can click `mouse-2' on `aquamacs-styles.el' to go to its definition.
Sometimes there are comments in the code that will help you understand what
it does. And sometimes the code itself is understandable, even for someone
new to Lisp. (And it's one way to learn a little Lisp, in passing...)

That's what I suspected.

I don't know, sorry. At least the problem is apparently not with
`fit-frame'. I think you'll need to contact an Aquamacs expert.

Try debugging `make-frame'.

There might be other code to debug instead or in addition, but I don't have
the time now to search for it. If you `grep' the Lisp source files you might
find code that runs the hook, and then you can debug that.

You can also define a command that calls `find-file' (or whatever), and then
debug that. Sooner or later, you will get to the hook.

Good luck. Try also what Peter suggested: contacting an Aquamacs mailing
list.
