Nice question!
There was a "standard" way to do things like that, but it seems not to
work with gnome-terminal. If you feed two lines like the following:
xterm*geometry: 132x25
gnome-terminal*geometry: 132x25
to the command "xrdb" (X resource database), then every new instance of
"xterm" will be 132 chars wide, but this won't be the case for
gnome-terminal.
I had a look around, but couldn't find a string that works in place of
"gnome-terminal" above. It could well be that GNOME apps do not look at
X resources DB at all!
I know, it's not very usefull...
Sorry.
