I'll need to try with > another window manager. If I kill fvwm and start mutter, emacs places itself properly. Looking at fvwm's log I see this message when starting emacs: [fvwm.0][GetWindowSizeHints]: <> reason: 6: The hints have been ignored because the window's current size would have become invalid. The new hints will become active when the window generates the next ConfigureRequest. I don't remember seeing this message before. If I turn fvwm's: BugOpts ExplainWindowPlacement True When I start emacs as: emacs -Q -g 80x40+500+500 I get this explanation: [fvwm.0][__explain_placement]: placed new window 0x1800142 'emacs@...': initial size 764x780 desk 0 (current desk) current page position 20 40, placed by fvwm (ignored program specified position) placement method: TileCascade Similarly for -geometry 80x40+500+500, and --geometry=80x40+500+500 When I start an xterm as: xterm -geometry 80x40+500+500 I get this one: [fvwm.0][__explain_placement]: placed new window 0x1800025 'xterm': initial size 816x839 desk 0 (current desk) current page position 500 500 (used user specified position) For xterm, fvwm says "user specified", for emacs it says "program specified". This and the IgnoredHints above may have something to do with it. -- Henrique
