MATE Terminal 1.27.1 on 6.6.1-arch1-1
I want to open my mate-terminal at 300,400. From the command line I can enter mate-terminal --geometry 80x24+300+200 and get the effect I'm looking for.
I want to make this 'permanent', to have the terminal raise in that position no matter how I raise it.
I found a couple of references :
How can I set the position that terminal opens at?
mate-terminal is a fork of gnome-terminal so I hoped that this would help
I copied /usr/share/applications/mate-terminal.desktop to ./local/share/applications and set this line
Exec=mate-terminal --geometry=80x24+300+200
Trying geometry= and geometry without the =. This had no effect.
I tried changing this line :
TryExec=mate-terminal --geometry=80x24+300+200
There is this from the Mint forum which suggests editing the desktop file in /usr/share/applications using mate-desktop-item-edit, a GUI dialog that offers the exec line as a field.

But that doesn't work either.
Any ideas?
