I have the following set in my .emacs file:
(if (window-system)
(set-frame-height (selected-frame) 60)
(set-frame-position (selected-frame) 50 30))
It sets the frame height correctly but not the frame position. I am running:
GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.8.0, NS apple-appkit-949.54)
EDIT:
The code offered below is not Mac-specific. You'll have to edit it (just ake out any of the *win*
references. Here's what I used that work. Tweak it to your liking!
(setq initial-frame-alist
`((background-color . ,(face-background 'default))
(foreground-color . ,(face-foreground 'default))
(horizontal-scroll-bars . nil)
(vertical-scroll-bars . nil)
(menu-bar-lines . 0)
(top . 50) ;; This is overridden by my-center-frame later.
(left . 400) ;; This is overridden by my-center-frame later.
(cursor-color . "red")
(mouse-color . "green")))

Futzing with the initial-frame-alist settings, ala:

might work. Specifically, try playing with the top and the left properties.
