This is the default size (24000,18000) if there is no definition of the 
world-size inside the rc-files.
--> /geda/devel/libgeda/include/papersizes.h
#define WIDTH_C		22*MILS_PER+BORDER+1000
#define HEIGHT_C	17*MILS_PER+BORDER

Is there a definition inside your ~/geda/share/gEDA/system-gschemrc?
Is gschem reading that file on your system?

zoom extends does not zoom out of the world, your world is smaller than 
your schematic.

If I remove the (world-size 120.0 90.0 1.0) line in the resource file 
the world becomes as small as the world in your schematics.
