how to make the terminal open at custom size?

[padfootpak]

I am using ubuntu Lucid Lynx. I am tired that whenever the terminal opens up i have to resize it. I was wondering how the size could be set permanently?

Use the option in profile preferences.

I always create a custom keyboard shortcut to open the gnome terminal and use the command "gnome-terminal --geometry 100x35-0+0" to force both the size and position of the terminal to be what I want. I also usually modify the terminal's menu entry to make it use this command as well, so that if I open the terminal with that shortcut it will also open that way.
