FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop

HEADLINE: Streamlined terminal window size and positioning

DESCRIPTION: As a developer, I spent most of my time in the terminal. Having ctrl-alt-t to open a terminal is super helpful, but the default positioning is less than ideal because there is a lot of wasted space with the default terminal size, and a lot of overlapping for a large size. I used to use x-tile in Ubuntu 14.04 and its "quad-<something>" option, but it is broken in Ubuntu 16.10 at least for me (dual monitor). I now use ctrl-alt-<numpad keys> to organize the windows, but still feel there has to be something better than that.

Interesting... So I most of my time in a terminal too. As a rule, I always (a) run gnome-terminal in full screen, (b) always run byobu in the terminal, and then (c) always use byobu/tmux to split the screen up into a bunch of shells doing their things.

This is a good idea, though!
