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 :)
