Bug Description
Ubuntu 17.10
xfce4-terminal 0.8.6-0ubuntu1 amd64
This command no longer behave correctly:
xfce4-terminal --geometry=
Expected:
Per X(7), this should create a window whose lower right corner is located
170 pixels left of and 40 pixels up from the bottom right corner of the screen.
What happens:
Entering the example geom spec is incorrectly treated as if it were:
80x25-0-0
xterm / lxterm / uxterm work in the expected manner using:
-geometry 80x25-170-40

Reported upstream. I also bisected to find the commit the broke it, so this should get fixed. Fix probably won't get backported to 17.10.
