Hi, Martin,
I apologize profusely for my unacceptably long delay in answering
your questions; your message slipped by me and I only found it
when I was cleaning up old emails.
FWIW, when I was doing the tests below there was a brief flash on
my screen each time I launched emacs, implying that the window is
first mapped and then unmapped. I don't know of that's related to
the problem.
> emacs -Q --iconic --geometry 80x78+1180+0 --font
> "-misc-fixed-bold-r-normal-*-15-*-100-100-*-*-ISO8859-1"
This works correctly, but the geometry reported by xwininfo is
79x77+100+0 (which is related to my Emacs.geometry Xrdb setting
rather than my gnuemacs.geometry).
> emacs -Q --iconic --load ~/init.el
works entirely correctly with the first init.el (including correct
X placement).
> emacs -Q --load ~/init.el
works entirely correctly with the second init.el.

That one still fails.
