While I'm at it I could as well give you an advanced example of this:

(setq 
 special-display-regexps 
 (list (list "jabber-chat" 
             '(width . 80)
             '(scroll-bar-width . 16)
             '(height . 15)
             '(tool-bar-lines . 0)
             '(menu-bar-lines 0)
             '(left . 80)
             '(top . 120)
             '(icon-type . "h:/dat/gfx/ico/jabber_bulb_small.ico")
             (cons 'font
                   (if (memq window-system '(win32 w32))
                       "-GURSoutline-Courier New-normal-r-normal-normal-11-82-96-96-c-70-iso8859-1"
                     "-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--14-130-75-75-C-70-ISO8859-1")))))

The above will make all buffers matching "jabber-chat" open up in a
new frame with the specified frame properties. Quite cool.
