Good points, I've made these fixes in the attached patch. >> Hm... but what if a second display is in the negative coordinate space? >> How would you place a frame on it programmatically? > > You can set the `left' and `top' frame parameters.

This allows a frame to be placed anywhere. I see now, thanks for this explanation. I tried building Emacs with X (--with-x --with-ns=no) and the configuring step picked up my installed version of GTK3, then later failed at the linking stage for temacs due to some GDK-related symbols not being present. Have you seen similar errors? Cheers, Charles
