I have the initial frame size set in Xdefaults and also in
initial-frame-alist set in .emacs.

At startup the frame opens with the correct size and default position -
position not set in xdefaults, and then immediately moves to the
(different) position set in initial-frame-alist and shrinks to just a few
rows high - plus the boilerplate of course.

there is no desktop file involved - I've never used that feature.

emacs24 works correctly.

window system is an Xserver running on cygwin providing display to the
linux machine.

any ideas on how to proceed?

Why are you setting the frame size both in .Xdefaults and in
initial-frame-alist?  Why not only in one of them?

Sorry for not reporting that I see the same behavior -q - out of the box
- so it's nothing I'm doing in .emacs.

What about site-lisp and site-init files?

Thanks.  I'll just stay with 24 till Debian sorts this out.
