[Bug 464783] [NEW] `qemu -ncurses` 80x25 vs gnome-terminal 80x24

[Dominic Evans]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: qemu-kvm

A minor (but irritating) mismatch in default sizes when running qemu
using ncurses rather than SDL.

gnome-terminal defaults to a 80x24 console / window size, whereas
starting up `qemu -curses` creates a 80x25 (640x480) console. Thus the
bottom row is not visible unless you resize your gnome-terminal window.
Unsure if this counts as a gnome-terminal or qemu-kvm bug, but it is a
usability mismatch.

qemu-kvm:
  Installed: 0.11.0-0ubuntu6

gnome-terminal:
  Installed: 2.28.1-0ubuntu1
