[Qemu-devel] [Bug 464783] Re: gnome-terminal should default to 80x25 for application compatibility

[Anthony Liguori]

I'm marking this as Won't Fix in qemu as it doesn't seem like a good
idea for us to automatically resize the terminal for a user.

I'd suggest using a wrapper script if this is a desirable behavior for
you.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: qemu-kvm

A minor (but irritating) mismatch in default sizes when running qemu using 
ncurses rather than SDL.

gnome-terminal defaults to a 80x24 console / window size, whereas starting up 
`qemu -curses` creates a 80x25 (640x480) console. Thus the bottom row is not 
visible unless you resize your gnome-terminal window. Unsure if this counts as 
a gnome-terminal or qemu-kvm bug, but it is a usability mismatch.
