Description of problem: Cannot place window in specific position any longer using --geometry Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mate-terminal-1.14.1-2.fc24.x86_64 How reproducible: mate-terminal --geometry=113x56-66+33 used to place the terminal window about halfway from left, now places it at top left. This is the same issue I reported at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1369939 for xfce4-terminal. mate-terminal --geometry=113x56-66+33 xwininfo xwininfo: Please select the window about which you would like information by clicking the mouse in that window. xwininfo: Window id: 0x4600beb "Terminal - ardy@daw3:~" Absolute upper-left X: 5 Absolute upper-left Y: 55 Relative upper-left X: 5 Relative upper-left Y: 22 Width: 906 Height: 866 Depth: 24 Visual: 0xb5 Visual Class: TrueColor Border width: 0 Class: InputOutput Colormap: 0x4600006 (installed) Bit Gravity State: NorthWestGravity Window Gravity State: NorthWestGravity Backing Store State: NotUseful Save Under State: no Map State: IsViewable Override Redirect State: no Corners: +5+55 -1009+55 -1009-159 +5-159 -geometry 113x56+0+33 Steps to Reproduce: 1. mate-terminal --geometry=113x56-66+33 2. 3. Actual results: Window placed at top left. Expected results: Terminal window to be placed in position desired. Additional info: When I first experienced this problem with xfce4-terminal, I installed mate-terminal and modified my script to use it instead of xfce4-terminal to start multiple terminal windows in specific positions. This worked fine. When xfce4-terminal was patched, I reverted back to xfce4-terminal. I decided to test mate-terminal today and found it ignored positioning.
