In GNU Emacs 19.25.2 of Fri Aug 12 1994 on gza-client1 (sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3)

I have

Emacs*geometry:			80x60-0-0

in my .Xdefaults, and my .emacs file runs (scroll-bar-mode -1).  When
the window pops up, it has scroll bars, and then they disappear when
the .emacs file executes.  However, the window ends up away from the
right side of the screen by the width of the scrollbar.  If the
geometry is right-relative, the left edge of the window should move
instead of the right edge when scroll bars appear and disappear.

I'm using a variant of vtwm as my window manager.

RMS told me when I reported this bug in 19.22 that he couldn't
reproduce it and thought it was fixed, but I can still reproduce it in
19.25 by running "emacs -q -geometry -0-0" and doing "ESC ESC y
(scroll-bar-mode -1) RET" in the Emacs window.
