Here's what I use 21.2.1 (with a lot of editing, 'cause there were a
bunch of color and fonts prefs in there, too and v19 compatibility):
(setq default-frame-alist
`((width . 81) ; so 80th column doesn't wrap
(height . 49) (top + -8) (left + -2) ,@default-frame-alist))
(if frame-notice-user-settings (frame-notice-user-settings))
I don't know if this is optimal (I just messed with it until it worked)
and I haven't tried it on 21.3.
