No, of course not. But it's so rare that one size fits all wants ... 
and it's just some practise with replace-string or replace-regexp ...

The syntax says that between key and value there has to be a colon, 
and, to be exact, this colon has to touch the key. And then you need to 
feed the database with the new setting. So you either need to invoke 
xrdb or you need to log-off and log-in again ...

Spend some time with 'man X' and 'man xrdb', best in Emacs.

Could be that the most correct X ressource setting is:

Emacs*geometry: 1280x1024+0+0
