non-overlapping terminals
Hi Everyone!

I was wondering if there's an easy way to have terminals (gnome-terminal for instance) be open in such a way that they're not overlapping each other?

I suppose I could play around with the --geometry option but that would imply me checking whether a terminal is already at a given place or not, which seems a bit painful.

When one opens 2 terminals in a row, the second one is usually slightly lower/more on the right than the first one, which leads me to believe that, for Gnome at least, it does such a check.

Is there an option to tell it to put it say in the next available/non overlapping spot within the X window?

Thanks!
Anthony
