I'm kind of new to emacs and have tried lots of options. I can't find the solution to a simple question though. Everytime I start emacs (running Xorg) the program takes the total wide of the screen at startup. so everytime I have to resize the window to *my* preference. Most programs can save the window state. I would like this for emacs too. Is this possible from within the progam or do I need to call it in a special way from my windowmanager?
This form is from my .emacs. It makes the frame occupy about the bottom half of the physical screen. You can experiment by changing any of the parameters ad libitum:
(setq initial-frame-alist '((name . "arial") (top . 370) (left . 1) (width . 163) (height . 17)))
The width seems to be affected by what your default font is, especially whether it is proportional or not.
