Bug Description
I want to open a Terminal window and Snap it to the Right half.
In Ubuntu 20.10, I was using the following command in Startup Applications -
```
$ gnome-terminal --geometry=
```
I found the right geometry numbers from this answer - https:/
Unfortunately, after upgrading to Ubuntu 21.04 it doesn't seem to be working.
COLS 91 and ROWS 47 scaling correctly but X 996 and Y 8 not translating at all. My screen resolution is 1920 x 1080.
This is definitely linked to the Wayland as default graphics.
After selecting "Ubuntu on Xorg", the terminal window translates correctly.
