I've just read the info pages of XEmacs concerning the X Ressources
which has an extra chapter for the handling of geometry resources.
(see: info xemacs m X Resources m Geometry Resources)

To quote from that page:
"Important! Do not use the following syntax:

     Emacs*geometry: 80x55"

(and then follows a thorough explanation)

Actually, the desired format is:

     Emacs*EmacsFrame.geometry: 80x55

Or In my special case:
     Emacs*EmacsFrame.geometry: 100x61+0+0


(Not that the use of "XEmacs" as in Thomas' mail instead of "Emacs"
here works only in newer XEmacsen and "Emacs" is still provided for
backward compatibility)


I thought you might like to know that...

Best Regards and Thanks for the Quick Answers :-)
Stefan

You hit. The format string crumbles and turns to dust.
