Bug#470945: gnome-terminal: --geometry broken for multiple windows

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.22.0-1
Severity: normal

I used to open my terminals with this script:
exec gnome-terminal \
--window --geometry +160+25 \
--window --geometry +739+25 \
--window --geometry +160+435 \
--window --geometry +739+435

The gnome-terminal manpage says:
--geometry=GEOMETRY
		X geometry specification (see "X" man page), can be
		specified once per window to be opened.

Up to version 2.18.4 this worked fine.
Now only the last --geometry is used (for the last window, the others
are placed by the window manager apparently)
