I'm on a VAX3100, running 7.3E, and ever since I got 7.3, my emacs is not
positioned right (well, 'til I do it manually). I have this line in
.startup.X:
emacs -geometry 80x34-0+0
so my emacs should come up in the upper right corner. The top is correct, but
the right border is off the screen. I find if I do this:
emacs -geometry 80x34-2+0
the emacs window is correctly aligned in the corner. With the -0+0 window,
I get this xwininfo:
==> Absolute upper-left X: 542
==> Absolute upper-left Y: 23
==> Relative upper-left X: 0
==> Relative upper-left Y: 21
...
==> Corners: +542+23 -0+23 -0-397 +542-397
Curiously, the xterm right below my Emacs, which used to line up on the right
border, still fits on the screen correctly. If I do:
xterm -geometry -0+0
it fits in the corner neatly.
What's the deal?
