Why don't you set these in site-start.el or default.el?

           and position globally (e.g. not in the .emacs file) or
           does one have to build and dump .emacs 

 
I use registry settings under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to specify this, using the X-style resources, for example:

        REGEDIT4

        [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GNU\Emacs]
        "emacs.font"="-*-Andale Mono-normal-r-*-*-*-*-80-*-*-*-iso8859-1"
        "emacs.geometry"="134x54+112+4"
        "emacs.background"="DarkGrey"
        "emacs.foreground"="Black"
