Bug Description

Ubuntu version: 16.04

gnome-terminal:
  Installed: 3.18.3-1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 3.18.3-1ubuntu1

I want to change the name and/or class so window manager can handle the window,
but it just doesn't change.

Tried

gnome-terminal --name "foo"

failed...

Tried

gnome-terminal --name="foo"

failed...

Tried

gnome-terminal --class="bar"

failed...

Is this a bug or a feature?

For the time being, you can workaround this by first (when it's yet not running) manually starting up /usr/lib/gnome-terminal/gnome-terminal-server --name foo --class bar, and then (within 10 seconds) start gnome-terminal to open the first window.
