Then xterm command would be
Code:
xterm -geometry 112x27+466+281
what is running is not xterm. it is /usr/lib/gnome-terminal/gnome-terminal-server which doesn't support -geometry. the man page for gnome-terminal shows --geomtry (two - characters). that doesn't work either. maybe it's time to change terminal program and avoid Gnome stuff.
