Okay, that matches the description of the `geometry' X resource in (info "(emacs)Table of Resources"). The description of the --geometry command line option, however, doesn't mention a different treatment of initial and following frames: ,----[ (info "(emacs)Window Size X") ] | `-g WIDTHxHEIGHT[{+-}XOFFSET{+-}YOFFSET]]' | `--geometry=WIDTHxHEIGHT[{+-}XOFFSET{+-}YOFFSET]]' | Specify the size WIDTH and HEIGHT (measured in character columns | and lines), and positions XOFFSET and YOFFSET (measured in | pixels). This applies to all frames. `---- That's probably a documentation bug (unless the option is really treated this way on X, which I haven't looked up). -- Ralf
