how to set xfce4-terminal size

I always have to resize xfce4-terminal when I open it... is there any way to set a fixed size so the terminal will always load at a pre-fixed size?

thanx

You could try wmctrl, it does much more than that but it would just resize it for you.

If you use the terminal from Xfce 4.4 (called Terminal ^-^), you can set the size by command line (Terminal --help).

yes, it worked fine with xfce4-terminal --geometry parameter... thanx ;D

i'm using a program called 'devilspie' to hide the terminal from task bar, from alt + tab and to keep it always on bottom... but It's being dificult since devilspie has no documentation

The post might be old, but this can also be configured in;

~/.config/Terminal/terminalrc

Under the value 'MiscDefaultGeometry'.
