The size (rowsxcols) are not shown when resizing

[Mattias Eriksson]

When you resize a gnome terminal the rowsxcols are shown. This doesn't happen when you resize a terminator window, making it hard to know how many columns you have...
also it would be cool if this could be done even for panes in fullscreen.

Thanks for the report - this has been at the back of my mind for a while and we should definitely try and support this in a nice way. I don't think it's crucial enough to delay releasing 0.9 anymore than we already have, but this is definitely important to have done before 1.0

So :)

The long and the short of this is that overlaying something on top of the widget isn't going to work. Unless my understanding of Gtk is completely wrong, it would always be racing with the terminal widget itself to redraw.

However, after using OS X's terminal.app I realised that they put the size in the titlebar all the time, so I decided to do the same.
As a result, revision 721 in trunk introduces this feature. If you have the titlebars enabled, you will always see the size of that terminal!
