It would be nice if the default settings for Qterminal brought up a smaller window, comparable to the old xfce4-terminal. The large size is too large for me 13” screen, and even for 17” screens it’s unnecessary. So I have to resize for every sincele disposable VM in Qubes.
Of course I could make a change in the whonix-workstation template, but (a) I’d have to do it again whenever it’s changed/updated and (b) I prefer not to modify the whonix templates for anonymity reasons.
Xfce-Terminal’s default is 80x24 characters. QTerminal’s is 141x41 characters, so it is way larger. To get it down to 80x24, we’d need to resize the window to a pixel size of 746x499 (according to Qubes OS’s builtin “tell me how large this window is while I’m resizing it” feature). That seems fairly reasonable to me, and would probably require just a one-line change to desktop-config-dist/usr/share/desktop-config-dist/qterminal.org/qterminal.ini (specifically changing the [MainWindow]size= line).
