Please, DON'T FLAME for this question. If it's in the inappropriate
place, then let me know where to find the answer to this question.

Here's the problem:

How does one get a frame (created by clicking on file-new frame) to
assume an appropriate geometry?

For example, this line is in my .Xdefaults file:
Emacs.Geometry: 78x59+0+90

When I click on "New Frame", I get a new frame, but it is 80x24 and
arbitrarily placed on my terminal.

I want to load up several different frames (NOT different emacs
sessions) which have slightly different, but specific placements on my
screen.

I don't know if it's a bug, or if it is a problem, but I'd like to
know how to set the geometry of an emacs window from within emacs, or
using some other tool for ANY window, so that I can automate the
process of setting up my screen.

If any one has any solutions, ideas, or places I can go, please let me
know. Any flames will subsequenly be unread and discarded, so don't
bother sending them.

Thanks in advance for all the help,
