Well, "man x-terminal-emulator" opens the manual page for whatever application you have configured with update-alternatives. It can point to gnome-terminal.wrapper (a modified version of "gnome-terminal" compatible with xterm arguments), to gnome-terminal itself, to xterm... > the gnome-terminal man page says that --geometry=GEOMETRY is a valid > option. > > However, --geometry=GEOMETRY is NOT a valid option for > x-terminal-emulator. > > So there's a bug - maybe the bug is that it pulls up the wrong man page. I still don't think there is a bug ;-) As I see, "gnome-terminal" and "gnome-terminal.wrapper" are different things aimed to different usages. But hey, if you think there is something wrong or that can be improved, just go ahead with the bug report.
