Ah, I have tried this now and can confirm it works in (emacs-version) "XEmacs 21.4 (patch 4) \"Artificial Intelligence (candidate 3)\" [Lucid] (i586-pc-win32) of Fri Jul 27 2001 on D5DC120J" too. The thing is: (custom-set-variables ; many more variables here ... '(initial-frame-plist (quote (minibuffer t top 5 left 300 height 40 width 80)))) is supposed to set the initial frame geometry in one sweep. This, however, does not happen on startup UNTIL I either click on the XEmacs frame or start typing at it. This is a long-standing bug, at least on Windows.
