Description:

When trying to spawn xfce4-terminal with a given geometry, it seems to parse the displacement correctly (+X+Y), but not the size (XxY).


Additional info:
* ver. 0.6.3 (Xfce 4.12)
* xterm and xclock parse geometry correctly so it seems to be xfce4-terminal specific
* It accepts `xfce4-terminal --geometry=+50+50` correctly
* It ignores the size parameter for `xfce4-terminal --geometry=200x100+50+50` however


Steps to reproduce:

1. Change ~/.xinitrc to include only:
twm &
xfce4-terminal --geometry=300x200+50+50

2. startx

3. You can spawn further xfce4-terminals by invoking them from the one displayed

4. Also try:

xfce4-terminal --geometry=3x2+50+50
xfce4-terminal --geometry=4x3+50+50
xfce4-terminal --geometry=20x30+50+50
This task depends upon

I just realised that the --geometry=WxH+X+Y parameter alludes to character dimensions for W H, and pixels for X Y.

Under this context, the parameter acts correctly. This is not a bug, apologies
