In my .emacs I have the followind code to set the size and the position of the frame
opened at startup
(defun arrange-frame (w h x y)
"Set the width, height, and x/y position of the current frame"
(let ((frame (selected-frame)))
(delete-other-windows)
(set-frame-position frame x y)
(set-frame-size frame w h)))
(arrange-frame 80 50 500 50)
It works at startup. But when I open another frame with C-x 5 2,
the new frame does not use size and position as described above.
Is there a way I can control these settings for any new frames from .emacs?

Customize user option `default-frame-alist'. For special-display buffers,
customize `special-display-frame-alist'.
For recent Emacs 24 builds you can alternatively customize option
`display-buffer-alist' (if you can understand it).
(There is also an option `initial-frame-alist', but you probably won't need to
fiddle with that.)
