The above worked in emacs 23.x. (I'm going through old bug reports that have unfortunately gotten no responses yet.) I haven't looked at the low-level values passed here, but eval-ing that form seems to do what you'd expect -- opening a frame at 100x100 (in Emacs 27, at least). Has this started working again, or if not -- do you have a recipe that will display the bug? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
