<p>I can't find any settings inside the terminal profile to all me to set a geometry size and screen x,y coordinates so that the terminal window always opens (even after reboot) in the same location on the screen and same size.</p> <p>Is there a way to do it? I'm open to even alternate terminal programs if need be.</p> <p>(Ubuntu, gnome)</p>

<p>On the menu bar choose <strong>System -> Preferred Applications</strong>. Select the System tab. Choose Custom and type in:</p> <pre><code>gnome-terminal --geometry=120x80+50+50 </code></pre> <p>or whatever other geometry you like. To tell Ubuntu to remember your session state, so that everything you have running automatically restarts exactly how it was the last time you sere logged in (including window geometry), choose <strong>System -> Preferences -> Sessions</strong>. Check “Automatically save changes to session”.</p> <p><img src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/WindowsLiveWriter/MakeUbuntuAutomaticallySaveChangestoYour%5F3726/autosavesession.png" alt="alt text"></p>

<p>Dave's answer will work. If you are unaware of how geometry works, check out <strong>man X</strong>.</p>
