AFAIK the settings are controlled by the variable
initial-frame-alist. Its documentation says
You can specify geometry-related options for just the initial frame
by setting this variable in your `.emacs' file; however, they won't
take effect until Emacs reads `.emacs', which happens after first creating
the frame. If you want the frame to have the proper geometry as soon
as it appears, you need to use this three-step process:
* Specify X resources to give the geometry you want.
* Set `default-frame-alist' to override these options so that they
don't affect subsequent frames.
* Set `initial-frame-alist' in a way that matches the X resources,
to override what you put in `default-frame-alist'.
