gnome-terminal ignores --geometry flag

Package: gnome-terminal Severity: grave Version: 1.2.3 Synopsis: gnome-terminal ignores --geometry flag Class: sw-bug
Distribution: Red Hat Linux release 6.2 (Zoot) System: Linux 2.2.16-3 i686 unknown C library: glibc-2.1.3-15 C compiler: egcs-2.91.66 glib: 1.2.8 GTK+: 1.2.8 ORBit: ORBit 0.5.4 gnome-libs: gnome-libs 1.2.8 libxml: 1.8.10 gnome-print: gnome-print-0.20 gnome-core: gnome-core-1.2.3-0_helix_1
Description: I'm running the latest HelixGNOME, and it's suddenly started forgetting the placement of my gnome-terminals.
Investigating, I've noticed that gnome-terminal doesn't seem to use the --geometry flag. This works:
xterm -geometry 100x30 &
but this doesn't:
gnome-terminal --geometry=100x30 &
It opens a 98x39 window for some reason, I guess it considers it the default.
There also seems to be another issue with session management in Helix GNOME, but I think that's separate entirely.
cheers,
--j.
