efaq: Emacs ignores frame parameters

 
 6.7 Why don’t my customizations of the frame parameters work?
 =============================================================
 
 This probably happens because you have set the frame parameters in the
 variable ‘initial-frame-alist’.  That variable holds parameters used
 only for the first frame created when Emacs starts.  To customize the
 parameters of all frames, change the variable ‘default-frame-alist’
 instead.
 
    These two variables exist because many users customize the initial
 frame in a special way.  For example, you could determine the position
 and size of the initial frame, but would like to control the geometry of
 the other frames by individually positioning each one of them.
