I use XFCE 4.8. I'd like new terminal windows to be wider by default (when I start a new terminal instance), but can't find where to configure this. Do you happen to know?

open ~/.config/Terminal/terminalrc change the line with MiscDefaultGeometry, to (for example): MiscDefaultGeometry=X*Y*Z to your default size

This is not working at xfce 4.10. New terminals totally ignores this setting – palmic yesterday

+1 for editing the conf file.

It's also possible the clicky-way: Preferences > Appearance : Opening New Window : Default Geometry columns/ rows
