** Description changed: + The more gnome-specific and detailed bug description: + + the gnome-terminal either ignores or misinterprets the + + --geometry=+0+0 , --geometry=+0-0 , --geometry=-0+0 and --geometry=-0-0 + + requests, while mate-terminal executes the correct positioning in the + same environment (display manager and window manager). + + In case of Wayland, the gnome-terminal ignores the requests listed + above, while mate-terminal is correctly positioned, in contrary to the + urban legend, that under Wayland such a positioning is imposibble. + + In case of Xorg, the gnome-terminal positions itself into the corners of + the rectangle containing the physical screens, even if that corner is + not inside any of the physical screens. + + I.e.: in case of Xorg the gnome-terminal is ready to position itself + into a not visible corner of the virtual space contaning the physical + screens instead of do the same as the mate-terminal can do: to position + itself into a corner of the visible physical screen. + + === The bug of gnome-terminal is that it is not able to position intself + into visible corners, while the mate-terminal can do it, ... and in + general the usual graphical programs can do it since the 80's. + + *** The original bug description: + The example "gnome-terminal --geometry=80x24+200+200" from the man page of gnome-terminal, does not work: while the 80x24 part of the geometry request is executed, the location +200+200 is overridden by the automatic positioning of new windows by the "Gnome Shell". "--geometry=GEOMETRY Set the window size as COLSxROWS+X+Y. For example, 80x24 or 80x24+200+200." The "+X+Y" part is ignored since I upgraded from 20.10 to 21.04 yesterday, just 4 hours after the official release.
