You can get some structure into this with, for example:

	(setq initial-frame-alist
	  (append (list
	    '(background-color  . "azure")
	    '(border-color	. "#4e3832")
	    '(cursor-color	. "purple")
	    '(foreground-color	. "grey10")
	;    '(active-alpha	. 0.875)
	;    '(inactive-alpha	. 0.75)
	;    '(font . "fontset-10pt_free_mono")
	;    '(font . "fontset-09pt_lucida_sans_typewriter")
	;    '(font . "fontset-09pt_vera_sans_mono")
	    '(top . 136) '(left . 666) '(width . 100) '(height . 57)
	  ) initial-frame-alist))

When the background colour is set in default-frame-alist then you  
don't need to set again in initial-frame-alist...

This is a rather disastrous choice: a f1 key map already exists,  
providing help, defined in . Couldn't you use your private setting  
with right hand? Or bound to f2 (which has also some keys with  
2C[olumns] functions bound to it)? Some f1 bindings are still free, so  
you could:

	(global-set-key [f1 f2]	'info-apropos)
	(global-set-key [s-f1]	'replace-regexp)

C-h b might help to see all bound keys.

When in doubt, use brute force.
