That seems to work for width and height.  Thanks.

However, left and top seem to be ignored, with the window manager
placing the window wherever it wants, even when I add (user-position
. t) to frame parameters.

Passing equivalent geometry to uxterm, the terminal gets placed at the
requested coordinates, so the window manager does obey it in some cases.
