So I don't think we should release 2.30 with this.

Any idea how it should work?  Simplest would be to add a checkbox "Use custom size" or "Use default size" to the profile.  Is that what you want to see?

If the custom size was part of the profile, then you could have a combobox in the profile editor with the options and an extra one, separated from the rest by a divider, and chosen by default, reading "Use default size".

We have custom size in profile now.  It's two spinbuttons for rows and columns.

Ah. Then a checkbox before the spinbuttons, like the 'use system font' checkbox + 'Font:' combobox.

(One could imagine a link beside the 'Use system font' opening the control applet which sets the system font; it is ugly that the default size is set in a termcap, as opening a gedit instance on the termcap would be way too ugly :P)

Yes, a checkbox "use termcap default size" would be sufficient. (Bonus points if the label actually says what the termcap default size is for that profile.) Or a combo box, "Termcap default", "Custom size".

We currently always set TERM to xterm, so there's not much of a per-profile default really.  ChPe, can you update the UI file and send it to me?  I'll do the rest then and then we can go through UI/translation freeze break request.

This is fixed on master.
