Comment(by humdinger):

 OK:
  * Move "Window Size" and "Text Encoding" into prefs panel
  * Remove menu items "Window Size", "Text Encoding", "Text Size", "Save as
 default"
  * Add a "Reset Window Size" that resets to the size defined in the prefs
 panel
  * Don't save changed window sizes, (only position?)
  * Have a "Defaults" and "Revert" button in the prefs panel and a "Save to
 file..." (I do like to have different settings that open a thus configured
 Terminal on double-click.)
  * In the prefs panel "Font" and "Size" drop-down should be in one row to
 save some space. Below that the "Encoding". Below that "Window Size".
 Below that "Color".

 Correct summary?

 Questions:[[BR]]
 Is the temporary changing of text encoding so important it's worth its own
 menu item?[[BR]]
 If so, how can it be named, so a user doesn't expect this setting to
 stick? "Switch Encoding", "Temporary Encoding", "Encoding (this
 session)"?[[BR]]
 Or put it together with "Reset Window Size" in its own menu "Session"?
