Hi All,
Looking at uboboo's man page for gedit, it has a --geometry command line switch;
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/en/man1/gedit.1.html
But our's does not.
Are we way out of date?
Do we have test editor with a geometry switch?

No, that page is. You were looking at the page from 16.04. Look at the top bar. If you click on the most recent one, that option is gone.

I am thinking of messing with leafpad's rc
./.config/leafpad/leafpadrc $ cat leafpadrc 0.8.18.1 699 <-- X (Horizontal width) 237 <-- Y (Vertical height) Monospace 12 1 1 0
I wonder what the 0.8.18.1 is all about.

I read leafpadrc into a variable copy it to a new variable modify the X, Y, and font size write the new one back out fire off leafpad write the old rc back out
Problem solved and it was a fun write.
I recall —geometry is handled by an X-windows library function & is common to most X based apps So when this (or any other app) used Xlib there are various command line arguments (argv[]) that are handled by the X regardless of the app
