gnome 2.6.1 I read this in the documentation C-h v initial-frame-alist **************************************** * Specify X resources to give the geometry you want. * Set `default-frame-alist' to override these options so that they don't affect subsequent frames. * Set `initial-frame-alist' in a way that matches the X resources, to override what you put in `default-frame-alist'. **************************************** well, I have the following .Xresources****************************** emacs*height: 70 emacs*width: 180 emacs*top: 1 emacs*left: 1 the last lines in my .emacs are **************************************** ;;these lines should be at the end of this file (setq initial-frame-alist '((top . 1)(left . 1) (width . 180)(height . 70))) (setq default-frame-alist '((width . 180)(height . 70))) > LocalWords: alist setq _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
