39 Parameters specified here supersede the values given in `default-frame-alist'.
41 If the value calls for a frame without a minibuffer, and you have not created
42 a minibuffer frame on your own, one is created according to
43 `minibuffer-frame-alist'.
45 You can specify geometry-related options for just the initial frame
46 by setting this variable in your `.emacs' file; however, they won't
47 take effect until Emacs reads `.emacs', which happens after first creating
48 the frame. If you want the frame to have the proper geometry as soon
49 as it appears, you need to use this three-step process:
50 * Specify X resources to give the geometry you want.
51 * Set `default-frame-alist' to override these options so that they
52 don't affect subsequent frames.
53 * Set `initial-frame-alist' in a way that matches the X resources,
54 to override what you put in `default-frame-alist'.")
