Sure, from command line:
emacs -geometry 126x52+42+33
Use something like 'xwininfo' to find your geometry settings you like.
Or
1: In .Xdefaults add - emacs*geometry: 126x52+42+33
2: create a icon on your desktop to do the same thing.
3: create an alias
Thanks for the help! Putting it on the command line works great;
putting it in .Xdefaults doesn't do anything (even after xrdb -load
.Xdefaults). Making an alias seems like the easiest way out for now.
