I'm going to assume you mean starting an emacs session that
opens it's own window which is not really in an xterm.
Ie., running a version of emacs with X11 support.
As someone else alluded to, you can put geometry info
in the default-frame-alist, this controls the creation of
new frames as well:
(setq default-frame-alist `((width . 80) (height . 50)))
You might also need to set initial-frame-alist to the same
to control the first emacs frame:
(setq initial -frame-alist `((width . 80) (height . 50)))
I don't need to do this in my configuration, but I can't
remember why (been using this .emacs for a long time....)
