[h-e-w] Setting (or remembering) startup frame size

[Michael R. Wolf]

I'd like to have the frame start up at a given size in a given location.

I found frame-width, frame-height, and frame-parameter (with 'left,
'font, and 'top) used in the frame-restore.el package, but that
package builds on:
                                   (desktop-load-default)
                                   (desktop-read)
which are documented to be obsolete.

Is there another, newer, preferred way to do this?
