Ubuntu – Change default size of terminal

command linegnome-terminal

Running uBuntu 14.04 LTS. When I run the Terminal, it always comes up in 80×24 mode. If I run my mouse over the title bar, a series of menu options appear. In the "Terminal" option, I can change to any of the following:

* 80x24
* 80x43
* 132x24
* 132x43

But when I close and re-open Terminal it reverts to 80×24 mode. How do I get Terminal to always start in 132×43 mode?

The changes in the menu are temporary. Use Edit > Profile Preferences and change the settings in the dialog:
