I want a default-frame-alist setting different than the one in initial-frame-alist. I followed the advices in docstring and info of initial-frame-alist: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- * Specify X resources to give the geometry you want. * Set `default-frame-alist' to override these options so that they don't affect subsequent frames. * Set `initial-frame-alist' in a way that matches the X resources, to override what you put in `default-frame-alist'. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I am using fullscreen => maximized in .Xressources fullscreen => nil in default-frame-alist fullscreen => t in initial-frame-alist At every restart of emacs, frame is maximized as expected by the X settings, then my init file load, and at end of startup, frame is resized with (i guess) settings of default-frame-alist. Did i miss something or it is a bug? (i think this is related with another issue, see bug#9033) -- A+ Thierry Get my Gnupg key: gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 59F29997
