Don't kill anybody, but here is how I do it for myself:
;;; Setup default emacs frames (windows) location and size
(setq default-frame-alist
      '((wait-for-wm . nil)
 (top . 0) (left . 0)
 (width . 85) (height . 40)
 (background-color . "gray15")
 (foreground-color . "limegreen")
 (cursor-color . "LightGoldenrod")
 (mouse-color . "yellow")
))
;;; But your first frame can be different than all others
(setq initial-frame-alist
      '((top . 55) (left . 184)
        (width . 100) (height . 40)
))
