It is crucial to know what platform are you on. If it is X Window (i.e., you are on Linux, FreeBSD, etc.), then size of the window, its placement, etc. are really not done by the application, but by a window manager. So you should learn how to persuade it to make window of the size and location you want (usually, the biggest WM offer in default configuration these settings in the menu, which shows up after clicking on the very top left corner of the window). The result is that window managers developed into much more sophisticated tools than the toys which are part of M$-Windows and Mac OS X. IIRC, -geometry parameter just makes application to politely ask WM to set her window accordingly. If you are on Windows, then the problem is that you have to persuade that one developer who already fights with making LyX working on Windows to make this work.
