Do you still see this problem?  I can't seem to reproduce it with latest
CVS.  I have no geometry set in my .Xresources file, and with the
following lines in .emacs:

 (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(width . 132))
 (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(height . 60))

Emacs seems to start with the appropriate width and height each time.
