Comment 23 for bug 1521302

While the Ubuntu team works on this (thanks!), there is a workaround: use another terminal.

For example, terminator has 100% feature overlap for what I need and works with F11 / maximize
sudo apt-get install terminator

But you want your terminal to launch from ctrl-alt-t? That's controlled by the link at:
/usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator

But you need to launch it with command line arguments (eg. --geometry)? Point the link at a shell script that launches your terminal with the arguments you need.

Details on setting the default terminal:

I don't want to clutter this bug report up with unrelated discussion, so please don't respond to this comment. It's just intended to help those of you (like me) who rely on the functionality that the Ubuntu team is working to fix.
