bug#2041: 23.0.60; strange behaviour of Emacs.app with -q

[Peter Dyballa <Peter_Dyballa@Freenet.DE>]

Hello!

When I launch Emacs.app as 'nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs - 
q --debug-init &' it shows a somehow regular behaviour, positioning  
the initial frame at (0,0) and having an opaque frame with white  
background. When I remove ~/.emacs and launch GNU Emacs as 'nextstep/ 
Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs --debug-init &' (no -q needed since I  
don't have a user-init-file, not even default.el or ~/.emacs.d/init)  
it shows an irregular behaviour, positioning the initial frame with a  
particular size and a font at a point given wich are all given by  
initial-frame-alist, and having a completely transparent frame with  
not existing background: when I click at it I select the application  
behind it, even when I pick a text.

The X client version does not have such a 'memory' – although it  
follows X defaults, which are different from what Emacs.app shows.
