Run gconf-editor, navigate to /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default and set the default_size_columns and default_size_rows keys. The columns & rows are measured in characters, not in pixels.

If you are on gnome:

gnome-terminal --geometry 120x60

Will explicitly state the window size. konsole sounds like KDE's variant. The same argument should work there.
