I cant start Chromium in --kiosk mode, but with custom window size and position.

Reported by wolan...@gmail.com, Dec 18

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.80 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Start chrome in kiosk mode and place it at position 200,200 and set size 200,200.

What is the expected behavior?
I expect the frameless window with no system close buttons etc., positioned at left top 200,200 and size of the window must be 200,200.

What went wrong?
I cant do that. I've got a fullscreen kiosk, or positioned window, with custom size, but with borders and system buttons.

Did this work before? No 

Does this work in other browsers? N/A

Chrome version: 71.0.3578.80  Channel: stable

Thanks for filing the issue!

Unable to reproduce the issue on chromium version 71.0.3578.0 using Ubuntu 14.04 with the below mentioned steps.
1. Launched chromium using ./chrome --kiosk.
Observed the browser launched without borders and system buttons.

@Reporter: As we are not very sure about "place it at position 200,200 and set size 200,200". Could you please elaborate on the same. Any further inputs from your end helps us to triage this in a better way.
Thank you for comment.

I mean why chromium can't start in "kiosk" mode not in fullscreen mode? I would like to have possibility to start chromium from the command line and get a frameless, borderless, headless chromium window positioned and sized as I mentioned in command line. Maybe it could be a special flag --frameless or something.

For example : ./chromium --frameless --window-position=200,200 --window-size=200,200
