  • "I can't specify his position and size" I'm not an i3 user, but unless it does something funny, you should be able to use the -geometry=WxH+X+Y switch to xterm. The W and H are in characters, the X and Y are in pixels. Note you could also use the snazzier terminal from (e.g.) XFCE stand-alone if you want, which uses the same style geometry spec. The GNOME terminal may be portable too; KDE's konsole definitely is but does not allow you to dictate the geometry. Commented Aug 25, 2014 at 15:36
