A very personal comment:  the main reason why I use linux exclusively
since 1994 is that I can work in character terminal using the unix
command line programming environment for my everyday goals (teaching and
researching math and computational math).  This is the reason why I am
so sensitive for the missing positioning of my terminals, since I
frequently invoke and kill terminals, depending on the actual needs, I
have never abandoned windows waiting for nothing.  Sorry for this very
personal comment, but I wanted to explain why I wish not to consider
"invalid" ...

Title:
  [wayland] gnome window manager ignores the --geometry location request
  of the gnome-terminal

Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion
Status in mutter package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in gnome-terminal package in Fedora:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The example "gnome-terminal --geometry=80x24+200+200" from the man
  page of gnome-terminal, does not work: while the 80x24 part of the
  geometry request is executed, the location +200+200 is overridden by
  the automatic positioning of new windows by the "Gnome Shell".

  "--geometry=GEOMETRY Set the window size as COLSxROWS+X+Y. For
  example, 80x24 or 80x24+200+200."

  The "+X+Y" part is ignored since I upgraded from 20.10 to 21.04
  yesterday, just 4 hours after the official release.
