For left (nth 2 (assq 'workarea (frame-monitor-attributes frame))) ; For top But he does not have Emacs 24.4, so no `frame-monitor-attributes' (and that ultimately depends on C code, so I can't just send him the latest frame.el code to test). He did try substituting (- 1520) instead of 0 for the `left' value, and that positioned the frame pretty much where it should be. Dunno yet whether -1520 would do the same thing. There is nothing in the doc that indicates the formats (or types) of the components of what is returned for `workarea' & `geometry' (there should be). But Andy Moreton's feedback shows that the value can be something like -1520. If there is someone with Emacs 24.4 who could test my `maximize-frame' code with the change I suggested (using the code above, instead of 0, for left and top), that would be good.
