Gnome-Terminal Launched in KDE Is Resized to Small Window

[Zoffix Znet]

*** This is likely a bug with the way KDE launches gnome-terminal, but I'm unsure what packaged that would be. Also, I'm ignorant whether gnome-* apps should even work under KDE at all...

If I launch gnome-terminal in KDE, it is opened at normal size, and right away is resized to a tiny window, 264 x 80px (though final size seems to vary).

This is always reproducable on this install and another machine at home (same versions though).

This is probably the same as https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649680

You can work around this problem by going to System Settings -> Window Behavior -> Window Rules. Add a new rule called "Gnome-terminal workaround" which sets "Obey geometry restrictions" to "Force No". See the screenshots here:
