Same thing.  Size is obeyed, position is ignored.

Doesn't work too well, as it results in the I need to
position every window manually.  (Fvwm puts up a wire frame
for me drag.)

> (make-frame '((user-position . t) (top . 100) (left . 100)))

This works fine.  Fvwm now claims "used user specified position"
