With emacs-25.3-3.fc26.x86_64 on Fedora, I Can't get emacsclient -F
(--frame-parameters) to work.

I tried starting emacs as
  emacs -q -Q -nsl
and issuing
  server-start
from the *scratch* buffer.

Then from the shell, running
  emacsclient -n -c -F "((width.200)(height.50)(top.20)(left.2000))"
  (and/or other geometry parameter values)
always gives me a window (fame) with the same geometry as the original
frame, at some window manager assigned position.

What I am doing wrong?
