[juneau-lug] Re: Fedora 8

Kevin you can try this:
The gnome-terminal uses a termcap file for its basic settings.

    sudo gedit /usr/share/vte/termcap/xterm

Look for a line about 1/3 of the way down that looks like this:

    :co#80:it#8:li#24:\

To change the number of columns, change the co# number, in this case 80. 
To change the number of rows, change the li# number, in this case 24.

You must exit all gnome-terminal processes before the changes take effect.
