So '--frame-parameters' is another way of accomplishing the same goal - specifying the geometry of a new frame. >> Anyway, that wasn't really an answer to the question. > It wasn't? Why not? What I was asking was why -geometry isn't accepted. What you and Glenn Morris answered was something close, but slightly different, see? I am very happy to learn how to accomplish the goal - thank you both! - but I'd _also_ like to know why emacsclient --create-frame doesn't support -geometry. If it is because it is wrong for emacsclient to do so, or because it has been decided at some point that it mustn't, there is no point in looking into adding that option. If it is just because I am the only person who is too lazy to look up the syntax for '--frame-parameters', yet still annoying enough to ask about it, maybe there would. I have been down the rabbithole of implementing features that only I want, and - more importantly, others explicitly don't want, a couple of times too many, so that is why I ask.
