I'm using GNOME 2.2 as found in sid (well, I've got mostly 2.2.1 packages).

Correct, but I suppose that Gnome-Terminal and Gnome-Session should
interoperate smoothly as they both are part of the same desktop
environment. I don't know how the session manager handles the geometry
restoration, but it seems that either it does it wrongly, or
Gnome-Terminal has some weird behavior on its own. Given the error
message I get from Gnome-Terminal, I'm inclined to think it's the
latter. If I knew how it was really supposed to work I'd post a proper
bug report in gnome's BTS, but I don't, so I thought maybe someone here
could give me a hand.

I have saved the session after resizing the terminal to my favoured
size. In my previous system, which was sensitively slower than the one I
use now, you could see the window spawning at the desired size and then
shrinking back to 80x24 (characters); I don't know if that's still going
on with the current versions, because I don't have an eye that fast :)
