I want that each time I login to my account (Ubuntu-desktop) a Terminal will open in a specific location and in a specific size.
In which file do I put the command, and what is the command?

The command is:
gnome-terminal --geometry=widthxheight+Xposition+Yposition
Add it under System -> Preferences ->Startup applications.

--geometry GEOMETRY
Specifies the startup geometry for this terminal. The geometry specifies the desired width and height in terminal characters. For example: --geometry=80x40
will create an eighty-column by forty-line terminal. You can also specify the location of the terminal Window on the screen; for example, --geometry=80x40+100+200
will create a Window whose top left corner is 100 pixels to the right and 200 pixels down from the top left corner of the screen, while --geometry=80x40+100-200
will give a Window whose bottom left corner is 100 pixels to the right and 200 pixels up from the bottom left corner of the screen.
Example: gnome-terminal --geometry=80x40+100+200
To make it so it always keep that setting:
sudo gedit /usr/share/vte/termcap/xterm
Locate something simliar to:
:co#80:it#8:li#24:\
co
is column number and li
is row number.
Not sure how to change the location in that file though, sorry.
Under Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS Trusty Tahr, the position seems to have the origin top-left, so the example above would show the window 100 pixels to the right and 200 pixels DOWN from the TOP left corner of the screen. – FoxyLad – 2015-11-11T19:57:44.677
