I don't know FreeBSD at all. On my system, putting something like Emacs.Geometry:80x35 Emacs.toolBar: 0 Emacs.Background: white Emacs.font: 10x20 in the ~/.Xresources file does the trick for me (geometry, toolbar off, background color and font choice) after logging the X Session out and in again. Using ~/.emacs instead is likely more complicated, and it has the disadvantage that the window gets mapped before Emacs applies the setting, meaning that the Window manager does not get a clue about placement before it is too late, and that you get a visible resize flicker. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
