The latter sounds very reasonable: why use some special code to give =20 GNU Emacs the desired frame size and position when there are the *-=20 frame-alists? > > I checked the NEWS file after I found this, but it seems to say that > the position values are used for the initial frame. If there are *no* particular initial-frame-alist settings, then the =20 default-frame-alist settings (also) apply for the first or initial =20 frame. > > At first I thought it was a bug, but since it works from shell, there > is something else at play. Launching GNU Emacs with -Q (i.e. not loading system and user init =20 files) allows you to examine the problem =96 and find and describe a =20 possible bug. But beware: in windowing systems' environments there =20 can be settings in (X11) resource or (MS) registry files that impose =20 on their clients some behaviour (position, size) when nothing else is =20= given ... -- Greetings Pete <\ \__ O __O | O\ _\\/\-% _`\<, '()-'-(_)--(_) (_)/(_)
