But here's the problem
man x-terminal-emulator brings up the man page for gnome-terminal.
the gnome-terminal man page says that --geometry=GEOMETRY is a valid option.
However, --geometry=GEOMETRY is NOT a valid option for x-terminal-emulator.
So there's a bug - maybe the bug is that it pulls up the wrong man page.
