Hi,

Just a minor annoyance in gnome-terminal is that is doesn't remember the size i set it to.

My proposed way of doing this:
1. Add 2 gconf keys in /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default
 -- x-geometry (or x-size)
 -- y-geometry (or y-size)
2. when the terminal is loaded it looks at those 2 conf values for it's size
3. when a resize is done those 2 values will be updated with the new size

And that should be roughly all that's needed to remember and use the size of the last used terminal.

And i can imagine a few special cases.
1. Multiple terminals are open with multiple sizes
 - In this case update the size if you close a terminal resulting in the last closed terminal as the new size for the next one that you open.
2. How would you do a terminal that's never resized but maximised right after it's opened and multiple terminals are open.. If you close all terminal windows and the maximised one as the last one then you next terminal will open maximised.. which is probable wrong.

another idea for the profiles might be an extra option that says:
[x] Next terminal uses last known size (or something like it)
which would be on by default from gnome 2.30 (?) and can be turned off for those that just want to use the default size that's specified somewhere (in the code??)

I hope you like this idea and that it can be implemented in gnome-terminal

Mark.
