no - and I just made an extra effort and searched about all of the Emacs info manual: Info-search: Search failed: "frame-parameters" > $ info elisp frames "frame parameters" "window" This looks more useful, but is nicely obscured, and nowhere did I find documentation about the '-F' switch (that may be only me, though). In 29.3.2, "Initial Frame Parameters", though, I find this paragraph: If you use options that specify window appearance when you invoke Emacs, they take effect by adding elements to `default-frame-alist'. One exception is `-geometry', which adds the specified position to `initial-frame-alist' instead. *Note Command Line Arguments for Emacs Invocation: (emacs)Emacs Invocation. But I have to say that trying to use "-geometry" yields an error message: $ emacsclient -c -geometry 140x53+478+94 -fn 10x20 emacsclient: unrecognized option '-geometry' Try `emacsclient --help' for more information [1]+ Exit 1 emacsclient -c -geometry 140x53+478+94 -fn 10x20 Kind regards, --Toni++ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
