Я уверен, что будут лучшие ответы, но я нашел одну полезную вещь:
gnome-terminal --geometry=130x25+20+525
Итак, на моем большом мониторе следующее дает мне два замечательных терминала:
#!/bin/sh
gnome-terminal --geometry=150x125+20+25
gnome-terminal --geometry=150x125+1020+25
А вот справка со справочной страницы для справки:
-geometry WIDTHxHEIGHT+XOFF+YOFF
(where WIDTH, HEIGHT, XOFF,
and YOFF are numbers) for specifying a preferred size and location for
this application's main window.
The WIDTH and HEIGHT parts of the geometry specification are usually
measured in either pixels or characters, depending on the application.
The XOFF and YOFF parts are measured in pixels and are used to specify
the distance of the window from the left or right and top and bottom
edges of the screen, respectively. Both types of offsets are measured
from the indicated edge of the screen to the corresponding edge of the
window. The X offset may be specified in the following ways:
+XOFF The left edge of the window is to be placed XOFF pixels in from
the left edge of the screen (i.e., the X coordinate of the win-
dow's origin will be XOFF). XOFF may be negative, in which
case the window's left edge will be off the screen.
-XOFF The right edge of the window is to be placed XOFF pixels in
from the right edge of the screen. XOFF may be negative, in
which case the window's right edge will be off the screen.
The Y offset has similar meanings:
+YOFF The top edge of the window is to be YOFF pixels below the top
edge of the screen (i.e., the Y coordinate of the window's ori-
gin will be YOFF). YOFF may be negative, in which case the
window's top edge will be off the screen.
-YOFF The bottom edge of the window is to be YOFF pixels above the
bottom edge of the screen. YOFF may be negative, in which case
the window's bottom edge will be off the screen.
Этот подход очень прост и использует такую команду:
gnome-terminal -x sh -c "ls|less"
В дополнение к вышеперечисленным командам можно делать еще более причудливые вещи :) Например, вы можете заставить его запускаться в определенный каталог (очень полезно, если вы редактируете исходный код в одном окне и отлаживаете с помощью другого как я).
