As I wrote above, this is the problem- it doesn't "remember" and always 
opens small.

 From what I have looked at so far, it is the only program which doesn't 
behave normally.

Which is another thing I have a gripe about - and which is why I don't 
use my usual ALT-CTRL-F3 in Lucid: the font which comes up is primitive, 
something I guess to be from the EGA era of 800X640 resolution, and I am 
used to 1920X1080. Never had this problem until I started using Ubuntu 
(Lucid). How can the resolution in these terminals (ALT-CTRLF1-F6) be 
made to be the same as the Desktop setting? Or is this just a temporary 
glitch in Beta 2?

LOL!

I only ever saw the above quote and didn't know what he actually said. 
I'll change the wording accordingly :-)
