Why is that ?
Because "user specified" positions means positions specified for a
single session by the user. Defaults specified in configuration files
are not "user specified".
Every call to `make-frame' can use a different set of size/position
parameters, so it is clearly more specific than Xresource settings.
That is true but I don't think it relates to the question. If you
call `make-frame', your arguments can say that the positions are "user
specified". You can label th evalues either way you wish.
