Recently
(make-frame '((left . -10) (top . -10)))
stopped placing the frame in the bottom-right corner of the screen (at
least in the Gtk build).
Could someone fix it?
Why should it go to the bottom-right corner? At least on w32 you can
have the upper left corner outside of the screen.

So where was the change made that caused this new behavior?
In Emacs's code or in some external library?

What new behaviour?  The bug was in Emacs code.


The problem in Emacs is how do you say the equivalent to
  -geometry --10--10, -geometry +-10+-10
in frame parameters?

David was quicker than I, so I'll just +1 on his suggestion, except that
it's incompatible with previous behavior.


And there already is a way.
