Bug#339944: gnome-terminal: request for option to start with tabs enabled

[Michael Gilbert]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.10.0-3
Severity: wishlist

Hello, I find it slightly annoying that the window resizes when opening 
a new tab.  Ala, if I open a new tab when the gnome-terminal window is 
at the bottom of the screen, the last line ends up below the edge of the 
screen, and I have to move the window up.  This wouldn't be an issue if 
gnome-terminal started with the tabs displayed at start up, and 
retain them even if there is only one tab.

Anyway, it would be nice to have this as an option.

Thanks for your consideration.  Have a nice day.
Mike Gilbert
