In GNU Emacs 19.25.1 of Mon Jul 25 1994 on hpsrdpw (m68k-hp-hpux9) Executing the following (modify-frame-parameters (selected-frame) '((top . 0))) has the desired effect of moving the frame to the top of the screen BUT IT ALSO MOVES IT TO THE LEFT 4 PIXELS. Further, if you use 'frame-parameters' to query the current 'left position and send it in the above alist, it doesn't help. Further, calculating an offset of 4 to the right of the current position and using it as the new 'left position (trying to counteract the side effect) only works EVERY OTHER TIME. On try 'N', it will leave the window's position unchanged, on try 'N+1' it will move the window 1 pixel to the right. I have verified this behavior using this Emacs on two different X servers running different window managers (one on HP-UX, one on Exceed on a PC).
