The window geometry is usually not stored in the .emacs file (that would be a bad idea because the window appears before this file is read). It is configured via the X resources. As XDM and GDM do not read the same X init files, here's the potential problem. IMHO, the best solution is to specify the resources at run time instead of in some X init file (that would depend on the way to start X). This is also more flexible. What you need is: export XAPPLRESDIR=$HOME/.app-defaults However, now with graphical login, it seems that the user no longer has a login shell before the desktop environment, which is bad. So, you'll have to find which file you need to put this in. BTW, I wonder why it isn't set up by default. Then you can create a file .app-defaults/Emacs that contains the X resources, e.g. *geometry: 80x60 -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
