gnome-terminal location
 

Hello,

I know this is being completely lazy, but I'm setting up my desktop at work with running Ubuntu 10.10 with dual monitors. I spend most of my day in a terminal and I'm setting it up to run with the size I want, but now I would like to see if there is a way pass my desired location as well.

gnome-terminal --geometry=238x60

(yes, the monitor is running in 1920x1080)

I can't seem to find a way to give it some sort of x,y for location to the second monitor on the same workspace.

I think in GNOME it's up to the window manager to decide about the window placement. As far as I remember, the default Metacity doesn't offer an option to remember the window locations. Some other window manager might be able to do it if you really really really want this.

Should work; where x and y are offsets from top left. I get it all setup and then take a screenshot and measure with gimp.

Thank you, barriehie. That is exactly what I was looking for. Worked like a charm.

:) Like your sig.; I've actually done that once..
