It's normal - some window managers simply refuse to position an
initial window partially offscreen.

I have to return to my earlier request which you replied to as follows:

>> (modify-frame-parameters nil '((left . 0) (top . 0) (width . 130) (height . 56)))

Did you call 'modify-frame-parameters' in your initial file or in the
initial frame?  I was interested in the latter.
