Just how do I resize the gnome terminal window form command line, and how do I adjust windows in fluxbox.

Code:

gnome-terminal --geometry=WxH

where W = Width and H = Height

Code:

man 7 X
gnome-terminal --help

Not an option available with fluxbox.

EDIT: Theres also commands to change the window size of other applications, eg. wmctrl -r Firefox -e 1,-1,-1,500,300

Previous answers are not helpful if you wish to resize an existing gnome-terminal instance.

Try this (from within the terminal you wish to resize): resize -s 25 80

The arguments to -s are rows and columns.

Enjoy!
