I am using org-remember set to open a new frame when used, and the 
default frame size is much too large. To fix this, I have designed some 
advice and a custom variable to implement custom parameters for the 
remember frame:

(defcustom remember-frame-alist nil
  "Additional frame parameters for dedicated remember frame."
  :type 'alist
  :group 'remember)

(defadvice remember (around remember-frame-parameters activate)
  "Set some frame parameters for the remember frame."
  (let ((default-frame-alist (append remember-frame-alist 
default-frame-alist)))
    ad-do-it))

I have set remember-frame-alist to
((width . 80) (height . 15))

which gives me a reasonable-sized frame, and provides and easy way to 
change it later.
