Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.3) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux Konsole no longer honours the standard xterm '-geometry' option - or it might be accepting it but interpreting it as pixels. It's certainly no longer xterm compatible, I specify '-geometry 80x43' and always get a tiny window. This used to work in KDE3.0 for Konsole, and still does for Xterm to give me an 80 char x 43 line terminal. '--vt_sz' works but makes konsole incompatible in its options.

Is there a consensus that KDE/konsole's --geometry should equal xterm's -geometry? If so, it shouldn't be too hard to fix this. -geometry geom size (in characters) and position --geometry <geometry> sets the client geometry of the main widget
--geometry specifies the size in pixels in all KDE applications and did so in KDE 3.0 as well, changing it breaks compatibility for people who use this option to specify a size in pixels. In general konsole is not command line compatible with xterm so having one option more or less that is different doesn't seem like a big deal to me.
