Of course, you could: use `intern'. But I suspect that, by the time
w32_createwindow runs, the left and top frame parameters were already
removed from initial-frame-alist and put into the `top_pos' and
`left_pos' members of struct frame that is passed to w32_createwindow.
But please verify that, I could be wrong.

I didn't figure out that bit yet. One thing to try is trace the
execution from the point where w32-win.el puts the values into
initial-frame-alist and till the call to w32_createwindow, and see if
that gives you any ideas.

I think when w32_createwindow is called, the contents of
initial-frame-alist are in f->params_alist. So accessing that is
easy. The problem is, the left and top parameters are not there.
Maybe if you compare f->top_pos and f->left_pos with the corresponding
frame parameters in f->params_alist, for different calls to
w32_createwindow, you will see how to identify that the initial frame
is being created.

There's no hurry. Thanks.
