Maybe I’m not doing that correctly but the following line in
~/.Xresources does not have an effect (xrdb -query shows the
setting, though; using “.” instead “*” does not work either): 
Emacs*geometry: 80x40+0+0

Hmm.  I cannot reproduce the issue with “80 55” any longer.  Will
try again tomorrow.  If I find something interesting I will report
back.

The new frame is still small.

Yes, that changes the initial frame (but it also does so in
~/.emacs).  Subsequent frames are still small, though.

Best wishes,
