Both with and height in mozilla/toolkit/xre/nsAppRunner.cpp both get their value
by calling cmdLineArgs->GetCmdLineValue()
The other arguments are all using CheckArg(), but they don't have integer values.

nsDocShell::SetPositionAndSize from docshell/base/nsDocShell.cpp is called with
the right arguments, but is called again before the window is shown.

The width and heigt options do work if i comment out LoadSizeFromXUL(); on line
936 of mozilla/xpfe/appshell/src/nsXULWindow.cpp

Comment 4

[Daniël van Eeden]

Actually, removing that line seems to solve the bug. Could anybody confirm this?

I tried:
* Running w/o a ~/.mozilla
* Setting -height and -width options on the commandline
* Setting height= and width= from localstore.rdf
