Want your terminal to open in a specific spot on your desktop?
-- see values at bottom.
## Ubuntu/Gnome & Mint/Cinnamon ##
1. open terminal
2. sudo gnome-desktop-item-edit /usr/share/applications/gnome-terminal.desktop
3. append the geometry section to the COMMAND text field.
4. gnome-terminal --geometry=84x25+7+292
## FOR MATE USERS ##
sudo mate-desktop-item-edit /usr/share/applications/mate-terminal.desktop
5. adjust values accordingly... close and reopen. This will take NUMEROUS times of opening and closing, until you finally get it perfect!
--- What this means:
84: the width of the terminal ( in characters)
25: the height ( in lines)
7: x position of the terminal when you open it up
292: y position
Open terminal in specific location.
