I would expect that to give a window 5440 pixels wide, 1024 pixels tall, with the left edge offset by one pixel from the left side of the display area. There is no indication as to where the top of the window would be. A -geometry of $WIDTHx$HEIGHT+0+0 would give a window anchored in the top left of the display area. Since you give a height of 1024 I'll assume you are running screens of 1280x1024, in which case '-geometry 5120x1024+0+0' should give what I think you're looking for.
