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?
