With "emacs -Q", this is the intended behavior: the latest changes let the system locate the Emacs frame. The original cause for the change was to avoid locating the Emacs frame in the portions of the screen occupied by the task bar and other decorations. > My Emacs.geometry registry entry used to specify 80x48.

If it is the latter, what is the setting that would cause all > frames not to exhibit offsetting? Setting the geometry in the default-frame-alist should work. However, you should be able to set the geometry in the registry as well. Please provide the details--what are your settings in the registry, when did you last resync with the CVS, and how to reproduce the problem with "emacs -Q".
