The geometry option is a feature of the linux windows manager/x-server(?),
and is not availabale on Windows.
Currently only the geometry option is passed with it's arguments to the
system, but Windows couldn't handle it:

lyx_main.C

        if (support::compare(argv[i], "-geometry") == 0)
                        geometryOption_ = true;
...
        if (geometryOption_) {
                width = 0;
                height = 0;
        }


I don't plan to emulate the geometry option on Windows, because
now the restoring of the windows size works fine.
