Hum... Jon is right. If we look at the perl script:
sm01@stt008:~$ grep geometry /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator
elsif ($opt eq '-geometry')
push(@args, "--geometry=$arg");
The accepted argument is "-geometry" that is then converted into gnome-
terminal parlance ("--geometry=").

Follow Jon's suggestion, it works that way.
