What do these corner values mean?

Neither do I.  Please tell me what ‘frame-geometry’ tells about this
frame.  Maybe it's relaed to the frame's default font size.

The surprising thing about this is that here on Windows the -geometry
option is processed as expected.  So this looks like a good place to
start investigating this on Windows.  Can anyone on GNU/Linux try with
Dieter's options, that is

emacs -geometry 135x34+35+20 -iconic

and report here _if they work_ as expected?

Thanks, martin
