I tried setting visibility to nil in default-frame-alist, but that doesn't do the job. The reason why I want to do that is to create the frame, resize it (and change other frame parameters depending on the buffer that is to be displayed) and then make it visible, so it won't dance around on the screen. Thanks Dave
