Hello Peter,
Yes:
xterm*vt100*geometry: 93x50
emacs*cursorColor: Red3
emacs*geometry: 82x39+40+84
emacs*font: -*-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-*-*-*-*-120-iso10646-1
xpdf.geometry: 1200x1020+0-0
That's the contents of my .Xdefaults file.

The same result.

No.

It's a shell script:
#!/bin/bash
# Possible values are nox, gtk, or x11
: ${EMACS_TOOLKIT:=gtk}
exec -a ${0} ${0}-${EMACS_TOOLKIT} ${1+"$@"}
I have not set the environment variable EMACS_TOOLKIT, so emacs-gtk is
called.
Now I've tried emacs-x11: there is no such problem, so it seems to be the
gtk-layer.
Here the details:
file `which emacs-gtk`:
/usr/bin/emacs-gtk: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.4, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
file `which emacs-x11`: the same
emacs-gtk -Q -g 20x20+500+500 -> +500+500 ignored
emacs-x11 -Q -g 20x20+500+500 -> no problem
Cheers, Peter
