I believe this is "on purpose": the size part of the geometry argument
applies to all frames (i.e. it's put into default-frame-alist) where the
position part only applies to the first frame (i.e. it's put into
initial-frame-alist).  But with a daemon, there's simply no
initial frame.

You can still get what you want by specifying the position in
default-frame-alist (in your .emacs).

Hi,

the actions:
$ killall emacs-snapshot 
$ xrdb ~/.Xdefaults 
$ emacs-snapshot -Q --daemon 
$ emacsclient.emacs-snapshot  -c /home/grfz/.Xdefaults

when started like this Emacs creates a new frame.  The frames width
and heigth are determined by the emacs.geometry ressource in
~/.Xdefaults, whereas the -Xoffset+Yoffset values are ignored.  Emacs
positions the frame in the top left corner.  But I want it in the top
right corner.  Therefore I hve the following line in my ~/.Xdefaults
file:

emacs-snapshot.geometry:82x188-0+0


When started like this:

$ killall emacs-snapshot 
$ xrdb ~/.Xdefaults 
$ emacs-snapshot -Q /home/grfz/.Xdefaults

Emacs creates the frame in the top right corner of the display.


It would be nice if emacs would honor the full geometry settings in
the X ressources.

Thank you for emacs, the awesome --daemon feature and your attention,
Gregor
