It appears that setting initial-frame-alist has no effect if Emacs is
started with --daemon; is this intended? Here's a case in point:
Let ~/.emacs consist of this sexp:
(setq initial-frame-alist
(append initial-frame-alist '((width . 85) (height . 58))))
Then do this:
$ emacs --daemon
$ emacsclient -c
The resulting frame has default width and height, not those specified in
~/.emacs. If instead I start Emacs like this:
$ emacs
then the resulting frame does width 85 and height 58.
I note that after starting Emacs like this:
$ emacs -nw -f server-start
and then in another xterm typing:
$ emacsclient -c
the resulting frame has default width and height, not those specified in
~/.emacs. But this would be expected if the initial frame is the one in
the xterm. Whereas with --daemon, the apparent initial frame is the one
produced by emacsclient -c. So is this a bug or expected behavior? If
the latter, shouldn't it be documented? (I hope it's relatively easily
fixed bug, since I would like to have setting initial-frame-alist take
effect if Emacs is started with --daemon.)
