Description John P. Verel 2002-01-20 02:40:32 UTC 
Using gnome-terminal version 1.4.0.4, which completly ignores geometry
settings.  To verify:

I also have on this machine:

xterm, under XFree86 4.0.3(156)
aterm-0.4.0-2
Eterm-0.9-19
rxvt-2.7.6-4

If I execute (say) xterm -g 80X26-0+0 from within a gnome-terminal, an
xterm opens, 80X26 in the lower right hand corner of the screen.  The
identical behaviour occurs with aterm, Eterm and rxvt.

If I execute (say) gnome-terminal --geometry=80X26-0-0, a terminal opens
BEHIND the current one, same size as the current one.  Other variations of
geometry setting give unpredictable results.

Geometry seems to be completly broken.

John

Because of the release of GNOME 2.0 and 2.2, and the lack of interest in
maintainership of GNOME 1.4, the gnome-core product is being closed. If y0u feel
your bug is still of relevance to GNOME 2, please reopen it and refile it
against a more appropriate component. Thanks...

Argh. Apologies for the double spam. Actually closing this time.
