I agree with that. My concern is that it changes a documented argument 
to LFUN_WINDOW_NEW, although not really useful (limited to Windows). I 
will just document it in release notes then.

Actually, it seems to me that -geometry did not work anymore in 
unix/x11. The old logic in parse_geometry() seems backwards to me.
