 Indeed augiedoggie is right. This problem is my fault. I actually never
 noticed the "save as default" button, and I changed the code to save the
 state everytime the terminal is closed.
 I'd be for removing "save as default", but I'd like to hear other
 opinions.

 > I also think that the menu item "Save as default" has the potential to
 confuse. "Did I not just saved my settings in the preference panel? Do I
 have to again "Save as default" to make them stick?

 Yeah I agree. That's also another reason for removing the menuitem.

 > If these encoding and size settings were saved with the currently used
 Terminal-settings file (that holds the fonts and colour prefs), you could
 have different settings for different profiles.


 > BTW, the Encoding setting isn't saved at all. With or without using
 "Save as default".

 I can take care of this.
