There isn't one. 

Currently, to start a gnome-terminal at a particular size, you need to
use the --geometry command line option, as in

	gnome-terminal --geometry=80x40

This can be used in launchers on the desktop or panels. To globally
change the default for the terminals launched my the
/Applications/System Tools/Terminal menu, you'd need to edit the
gnome-terminal.desktop file. Finally, the default 80x24 comes from the
file GNOME_PREFIX/share/vte/termcaps/xterm, which is a termcap file.
