When starting the terminal via a .desktop file on my cinnamon desktop (using arch linux) it completely ignores all geometry settings (--geometry, --fullscreen or --maximize f.ex.). Starting it manually from a terminal works fine.
Hi Keridos, Could you paste your .desktop file here? I've taken an example file from Arch Wiki, modified it as shown below, and it's working fine under Xfce for me: [Desktop Entry] # The type as listed above Type=Application # The version of the desktop entry specification to which this file complies Version=1.0 # The name of the application Name=Xfce4-terminal # A comment which can/will be used as a tooltip Comment=Xfce4-terminal 50x10 # The path to the folder in which the executable is run Path=/ # The executable of the application, possibly with arguments. Exec=/usr/bin/xfce4-terminal --geometry=50x10 # The name of the icon that will be used to display this entry #Icon=jmemorize # Describes whether this application needs to be run in a terminal or not Terminal=false
Apparently the Terminal=False setting fixes this. Closing this now. At least if I can.
And thanks for the hint :)
You are welcome :)
