I use the following function:
(defun set-frame-dimensions (frame width height)
(interactive
(let ((frame (selected-frame)))
(list frame
(read-number "Frame width: " (frame-width frame))
(read-number "Frame height: " (frame-height frame)))))
(set-frame-width frame width)
(set-frame-height frame height))
and I bind it to C-x 5 s as follows:
(global-set-key "\C-x5s" 'set-frame-dimensions)
It's pretty convenient because it lets you just set the width or
height or both, just from the keyboard.
To reposition a frame, you can use something like:
(set-frame-position (selected-frame) 3 26)
I use this to get around the default centered-on-screen behavior and
put the Emacs window in the top left of the screen instead, as I
prefer.
