gnome-terminal *still* ignores --geometry on commandline
Submitted by Ole Craig
Description
gnome-terminal --geometry=30x10 gives me an 80x24 window. Interestingly, gnome-terminal will deign to honor the xpos/ypos components of the geometry string: if the commandline is "gnome-terminal --geometry 30x10+100+200", I'll get a gnome-terminal with (x,y) = (100,200) -- but it's still an 80-column, 24-line terminal, dagnabbit!
If I'm tracing the execution flow correctly (bear with me; I'm a sysadmin, not a programmer) this may actually be a bug in the gnome-libs component, since gnome-terminal appears to call gnome_parse_geometry() in libgnomeui to handle the string.
I updated to RedHat's "rawhide" versions of both components and the behavior recurs.
Noticing that RedHat's gnome-libs (even from RawHide, which has newer RPMs than roswell) was still at 1.2.x, as a last sanity check I built gnome-libs-1.4.1.2 from source, rebuilt gnome-core 1.4.0.4 against it, and ran the resultant gnome-terminal; the problem persisted.
Version: 1.4.x
