The literal answer to the question wasn't very interesting. Q1: /usr/bin/emacsclient: unrecognized option '-geometry' How come? A1: Because emacsclient does not have a --geometry option. Q2: Why doesn't emacsclient have a --geometry option? A2: Because no-one has written one. Q3: How do I control the size and position of a frame created by emacsclient? A3: Use the --frame-parameters option. I thought question 3 was the only non-trivial one.
