I was talking Emacs-lingo. The geometry option/X-ressource does affect only whole frames (that what is called "windows" everywhere else in the computing world). Windows in Emacs-lingo are the areas of the frame that are created by "splitting" the frame horizontally or vertically. Now the tool-bar is actually such a window but with some special properties. I'd like to know if it is possible to create such special windows from Lisp.
