Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

Please add configurable option into gnome-terminal for configuring value --geometry. Now gnome-terminal is starting in 80x24. This is too small size at widescreen resolutions! I think that it's simple for write, so please include it yet into Gnome 2.26 (for Ubuntu 9.04).

WTF? Where are you see fixed? Can you give any information from upstream? I've got 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 and I can't find any option where can I set --geometry value.

It works great for me using the command gnome-terminal --geometry=124x41-0-1

But there is no option to set regular value for --geometry, so it's not fixed. You did workaround. It's true that we can set --geometry for shortcut, but it's not enough. I use nautilus-open-terminal and it's always starting in default sizes.
