The interaction between the --geometry argument and the default-frame-alist
setting has recently changed.

It is rather inconvenient for me now:

I typically start my Emacs as follows:

   emacs --geometry 256x1+0-0

and in my .emacs I do something like:

   (setq initial-frame-alist '((minibuffer . only)))
   (setq default-frame-alist
         '((minibuffer . nil) (height . 40) (width . 80) (user-size . t)))

This used to result in the exact behavior I want: Emacs starts as a single-line
minibuffer-only frame, and other frames have the normal size.

But now, my default-frame-alist I set in .emacs gets overwritten by the
"256x1" geometry argument, so subsequent frames also have this weird 256x1
shape :-(

What was the reason for the change?
