Bug Description

In gnome-terminal CTRL-'+' and CTRL-'-' is supposed to zoom in and out respectively:

Zoom in should: increase the font size and resize the window to match the new font size (keep rows and cols consistent)
Zoom out should do the exact opposite: reduce the font size and resize the window to match the new font size (keep rows and cols consistent)

This does not work within unity. Instead, it would appear that the font size is handled correctly, whereas the windows resizing is messed up.

Consequently, repeating a few zoom ins and outs will result in an unusably small window - but with the font size corect.

Note: It works, runing under gnome-shell
