terminal size not always honored on session startup
Submitted by tyt..@..nk.org
Description
Package: gnome-terminal Severity: normal Version: 1.2.0 Synopsis: terminal size not always honored on session startup Class: sw-bug
Distribution: Red Hat Linux release 6.2 (Zoot) System: Linux 2.2.14-5.0.14smp i686 unknown C library: glibc-2.1.3-15 C compiler: egcs-2.91.66 glib: 1.2.7 GTK+: 1.2.7 ORBit: ORBit 0.5.1 gnome-libs: gnome-libs 1.2.0 libxml: 1.8.7 gnome-print: gnome-print-0.20 gnome-core: gnome-core 1.2.0
Description: After saving the session setup, the gnome terminal doesn't always startup with the right size on subsequent gnome startups. Some terminals start up in the correct position and with the correct size, but some are sized incorrectly (28x13 instead of 80x60). Which terminals are OK and which bad is intermittent, and changes from startup to startup. Sometimes all have the correct size; sometimes all but one are incorrect, etc.
My guess is that it's some kind of timing/race condition. Checking ~/.gnome/gnome-terminal* reveals that geometry is saved correctly; it's just that sometimes the geometry isn't properly obeyed.
