In .Xresources

emacs.geometry:80x64+1440

In .emacs

(setq default-frame-alist '((width . 80) (height . 64)))
(setq initial-frame-alist '((top . 1) (left . 1) (width . 80) (height . 64)))

After startup of emacs these values are:

initial-frame-alist is a variable defined in `frame.el'.
Its value is 
((top . 1)
 (left . 1)
 (width . 80)
 (height . 64))

default-frame-alist is a variable defined in `C source code'.
Its value is 
((menu-bar-lines . 1)
 (tool-bar-lines . 0)
 (vertical-scroll-bars)
 (width . 80)
 (height . 64))

Still the window is 80 x 59

C-x 5 2 Gives a frame of size 80 x 53

I use .Xresources
