Normally, not an issue since I immediately move the window over to a nice big second monitor... but... when I am on the road, this sucks hugely.

When gschem starts up, it show:
...
Read system config file [/usr/share/gEDA/system-gafrc]
Read system config file [/usr/share/gEDA/system-gschemrc]
Read user config file [/home/atommann/.gEDA/gschemrc]
Read init scm file [/usr/share/gEDA/scheme/gschem.scm]
...

So, you can open /usr/share/gEDA/system-gschemrc and search for
keyword "window", read it and you will find how to change the initial
size of the gschem window :)

You can also add the following line to the file ~/.gEDA/gschemrc to
override the settings in system-gschemrc
(window-size 950 712)  ; Good size for 1152x864

Hope this helps.
