anyhow in ubuntu 10.04 the default size use setting from gconf profile.
so, anyone that upgrade to 10.04 from previous version might have problem as default key wont be add automatically into your gconf.
quick fix for this problem is by adding the default size into terminal profile (in this case Default profile)

gconftool-2 --set \
/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/default_size_columns \
--type integer 135

gconftool-2 --set \
/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/default_size_rows \
--type integer 25
