Title:
[wishlist] gnome-terminal should support ctrl+= for zoom in

Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
In gnome-terminal the 'View --> Zoom In' menu item lists the key
binding of "Ctrl++" in the same way as Mozilla Firefox does.
However, on for example a pc105 keyboard (en_GB variant), you
technically need to either use 'Shift+Ctrl+=' or 'Ctrl+KPLUS' (the
numpad +) to cause it to zoom in. So the referenced keybinding can be
slightly confusing to the novice user.
Mozilla Firefox resolves this by also binding 'Ctrl+=' to the same
function so users can easily discover the feature without much
thought. As such, most users have a learned response of holding Ctrl
and hitting the - and = keys to zoom in and out. Gnome Terminal should
probably do the same to make it easier to discover the feature.
This effects both Ubuntu jaunty and Ubuntu intrepid. It has not been
tested under hardy.
