Yes, the GNOME metacity window manager seems to suffer from severe
amnesia ;-)

My work around for this annoying problem (when I'm not using fluxbox, that
is), is to install the "alltray" utility, which allows you to "dock" apps
in the notification area. At least this way I can size the terminal once,
add tabs as desired, and then leave it docked when not in use.

I haven't been able to find a "remember dimensions" option so that it will
use my preferred size.

Of course, you could always run fluxbox ;-)
