Can anyone explain to me what I'm doing wrong here? As far as I can
read in the info pages, the following ELISP should set my default
frame size to fullheight, but it's not working. The height doesn't
change at all, though. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
;; Customize Frame Size and position
(setq default-frame-alist '((top . 1) (left . 170) (right . 1) (width
. 130) (fullscreen . fullheight)))
Thanks in advance!

I sent a bug report on a similar finding. For modify-frame-parameters
you can't set fullscreen and another property in the same command.
So I have
(modify-frame-parameters nil '( (fullscreen . fullheight) ))
(modify-frame-parameters nil '( (width . 170) ))
in one of my elisp functions.
hth,

Thanks for this Allan. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to do
anything for me. Does this actually work for you?

Sure does. I just tried both v23 and v22.
Do emacs -Q
in *scratch* buffer enter
(modify-frame-parameters nil '( (fullscreen . fullheight) ))
then with the cursor right after the )) type C-x C-e
that should give you a tall frame (window in X parlence).
They try the same with
(modify-frame-parameters nil '( (width . 170) ))
and you should get a wide frame.
hth,
allan

Interesting. On my Windows box using 22 both of those work as
expected. Unfortunately, on my Mac only the width one works. When I
execute the fullscreen lisp, I just get a `nil` bounced back at me in
the mini-buffer.
