And he sent me this info from his setup: (frame-parameters): ((tool-bar-position . top) (parent-id) (explicit-name) (display . "w32") (v= isibility . t) (icon-name) (window-id . "459396") (top . 11) (left + -1249)= (buried-buffer-list) (buffer-list # # # # # #) (unsplittable) ... M-x maximize-frame (frame-parameters): ((tool-bar-position . top) (parent-id) (explicit-name) (display . "w32") (v= isibility . t) (icon-name) (window-id . "459396") (top . 0) (left . 0) (bur= ied-buffer-list) (buffer-list # # #= # # #) (unsplittable) ...) M-x restore-frame ((tool-bar-position . top) (parent-id) (explicit-name) (display . "w32") (v= isibility . t) (icon-name) (window-id . "459396") (top . 11) (left + -1249)= (buried-buffer-list) (buffer-list # # # # # #) (unsplittable) ...) Based on that, I've sent him an updated version of `maximize-frame' (from `frame-cmds.el'), which differs only in not using (0,0) as the position coordinates systematically. Instead, it uses this: (nth 1 (assq 'workarea (frame-monitor-attributes frame))) ; For left (nth 2 (assq 'workarea (frame-monitor-attributes frame))) ; For right Andy, perhaps you could try that? [I'm assuming that the `workarea' and `geometry' values are, in order: LEFT TOP, WIDTH HEIGHT. FWIW, The doc of `display-monitor-attributes-list' refers to them as X Y WIDTH HEIGHT, and the doc of `frame-monitor-attributes' refers to the `d-m-a-l' doc. Not so clear (What are X and Y? What units for WIDTH and HEIGHT?), but better than nothing. (BTW, if these essentially follow the `geometry' X Window spec, why is the order changed from what is used for that?)]
