GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 68683
possibility to change default size from 80x24 to something else.
Last modified: 2005-08-19 20:52:31 UTC
Some people want to have bigger gnome-terminals than 80x24 by default. Following patch would make it possible for those users to define their preferred terminal size in ~/.gnome/Terminal and other config files, which gnome-terminal reads at the beginning. This patch doesn't add these options into preferences dialogs, but otherwise it should do the job.

Removing the PATCH keyword, since we've pretty much just nuked the old gnome-terminal code base. If you want, you can submit the patch again as a bug against the old control-center (if there is ever a 1.4.2 release) but I'd strongly recommend learning the new code base (now in the gnome-terminal module in CVS) and helping with that instead.
Would add yet more stuff to the prefs dialog - I'm already taking crap about its size - but I can see it.
Gnome terminal does accept the --geometry flag. A workaorund, then, would be to change the launcher to specify a geometry.
If gnome-terminal has two tabs and the size is lets say 80x50, it is not restored on startup. It starts with 80x50 size, but then reduces to standard 80x24. Can somebody explain what might be going on here?
A bug is going on, presumably. ;-)
This behaviour (gnome-terminal being presented initiallt in the size stored in the session, and then resizing itself to 80x24) is explained in bug 108931

This can be marked as a duplicate of bug 155147. I've attached a proposed patch in that bug.
Ok. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 155147 ***
