I start one emacs on the "default/initial" screen, another a few screens away. Neither obeys the command line position. > Does positioning a new frame in a running Emacs session via > (make-frame '((left . x) (top . y))) Just tried it with x and y within the physical desktop and a few screens away and neither worked. However, if I kill fvwm and use make-frame, it WORKS! Even off screen, which I can see when I restart fvwm. This is interesting, as I'm running the same fvwm as with the previous emacs, where this worked. Also xterms position themselves properly. Just tried glxgears, mplayer and it works with those too. Xv works within the physical screen, it doesn't off-screen. Maybe Emacs changed the way it requests the screen position to a way that fvwm doesn't like. I'll need to try with another window manager. -- Henrique
