I have a two screen solution where my lap top is left and a external
screen is right it starts from 1440.

0. I can not make the following work in .Xresources
emacs.geometry:80x64+1440

1. If I have my current emacs in the right screen and do 
(setq default-frame-alist '((width . 80) (height . 64)))
a new frame opens in the right screen but width size 80 x 50.  

2. If I do
(setq default-frame-alist '((top . 0) (left . 0) (width . 80) (height . 64)))
I get a frame in the left screen size 80 x 50.

Now 80 x 50 is the maximum size in the left window which I get there
with height >= 50.

3. If instead I do
(setq default-frame-alist '((top . 0) (left . 1440) (width . 80) (height . 64)))
the frame opens in the right window with the right size.

So it seems that if my current emacs is in the right screen a new
frame opens there but limited to the max size according to the screen
at left i.e.  (top . 0) (left . 0).

Now I think my problem is solved.  However, maybee this is not
intentionally but a bug?
