Why don't you try doing this by modifying frame parameters (via
add-to-list) instead? This is how I set the position and dimensions
of my frame in my .emacs:
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(top . 0))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(left . 140))
(add-to-list 'initial-frame-alist '(height . 52))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(height . 50))
I understand that in your case the numbers will have to be computed
first, but that's just a minor variation, I think.
