That's X's job. Put it into ~/.Xresources:
Emacs*font: fixed
Emacs*foreground: wheat
Emacs*background: black
Emacs*cursorColor: green
Emacs.geometry: 105x48-58+28
Emacs.dialog*.background: LightSteelBlue1
Emacs.dialog*.foreground: DarkRed
Then run "xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources".

That's insane (if true). Do you have a ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession?
Add "xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources" to it. *DM do source one or the other
(or either) of those files.

That is true, but it reads ~/.Xdefault. I use:
################################################################################
emacs.geometry: 250x150+0+0
emacs.background: black
emacs.foreground: white
emacs.font: *-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-180-*-*-*-*-*-*
emacs.toolBar: off
################################################################################
And it works like a charm.
