I tried this with user-position and it is weird, I would say buggy. (modify-frame-parameters nil '((user-position . t) (width . 176) (left . (- 1300)))) did give flush left on a fresh emacs -Q but the result is bad. The original scroll bar is still there so it looks like there are two windows side by side in the frame (C-x 3) but there is only one window, only one mode line, and C-x o is a no-op. thanks, allan
