Things like Konsole no longer letting you specify the size in characters. It is holding character apps, not raster apps. So it did make sense to specify the size in that manner. (--vt_size)
Well... in frustration over the lack of progress with *this* problem ( https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152385 ) I've recently been working on a more or less idiotic workaround: The basic idea is: "Use ImageMagick to take a screenshot of a Konsole. Do some analysis on the resulting image, in order to find how many pixels the window needs for borders/scrollbars/etc, and the pixels/character." Knowing this I can then resize the Konsole (with wmctrl) to whatever *outside* dimensions neccessary in order to get a particular lines X characters. The main parts of the script are more or less done, so at this point I just need to do the 'surrounding bits' (command line parsing etc...) Like I said, the idea *is* kinda stupid, and there are a number of limitations to the whole approach, and it would be *much* *much* better if I could just fix the bug for real - but I've gotten to the point where "I want this cat skinned *now*, even if I have to use a sledgehammer..."
Or Konsole no longer having an option to keep the window after the application running in it ends. (--noclose)
