Hmm ...

So you mean when size hints are not set, we are sure that
gui_display_get_arg does not find anything in 'default-frame-alist'
(ignoring, BTW 'initial-frame-alist') and finds a number here.  This
looks a bit fragile to me.  Isn't the fact that left/top are unbound
sufficient that we should use CW_USEDEFAULT and f->left_pos/f->top_pos
otherwise.  Or don't you want to call gui_display_get_arg twice?
