Hi, Scott, Thanks for the link and your help. I changed "/usr/share/vte/termcap/xterm" file to: :am:km:mi:ms:xn:\ :co#80 :it#8:li#40:\ ,then the gnome-terminal opened with 80x40 geometry by "Ctrl+Shift+N" key combination.

You probably should back up the file first. :) I'd have sworn I spell checked before I sent this thing. Oh well.. But anyway. It works! w00t! I've now got GNOME terminal opening at 100x40 all the time. :) Strangely, it doesn't work on Xfce Terminal. Naturally KDE had the common sense to allow you to adjust Konsole's size without hacking any files. :) (Yes, I run KDE, GNOME and Xfce). :) -- Scott <a href="http://angrykeyboarder.com"> http://angrykeyboarder.com</a> I've never used an OS I didn't (dis)like. ©2007 angrykeyboarder™ & Elmer Fudd.
