There are a couple of terminal programs available in gnome. The one which I like best is gnome-terminal. It can, within a single window, have a number of tabs, each functioning separately from the others. i.e., like a separate terminal window. They are automatically numbered, and (after remapping) I access them with Ctrl-1 to Ctrl-9, or however many tabs I have. All that is nice. However, in a new session (upon startup or after reboot), after I move the gnome-terminal where I want it (where I always put it), and after I resize it to how I want it (also pretty much the same in every session), then I need to open up all the other tabs... that is, it would be nicer if that app would remember that it should have eight tabs open and present itself that way upon invocation (i.e.. upon startup or after reboot). But AFAIK there is no such capability. How do these functionalities compare with the terminal app in other desktop environments (Mate, KDE, or others)? Thanks.
