GNOME-TERMINAL(1) says:
--geometry=GEOMETRY
Set the window size as COLSxROWS+X+Y. For example, 80x24 or
80x24+200+200.
When run under Wayland, only "COLSxROWS" are honoured, "+X+Y" are not.
When run under Xorg, everything works as expected.
I have a script that creates tens of windows and tabs at predefined
positions, which now needs manual repositioning.

Title:
+/- geometry offsets don't work under Wayland
Status in xwayland package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When using the default wayland-based session in Ubuntu 22.04, trying
to use +/- to control window placement doesn't work. E.g. the
following should give me a gnome-terminal window in the lower-right
corner of the screen:
gnome-terminal --geometry -0-0
It does not; instead it stacks it with a window position just slightly
down from and to the left of the previous window.
