Open thunar. Edit. Configure custom actions. How big. Click on the pencil and paper. Add the extra options to the command. Make sure you put them before the "-e". OK.

I know about custom actions are have created several of them. I am at a loss however when it comes to anything but basic configuration options. More reading to do . . .

Currently cleaning up my huge list of bookmarks - dead links, stale links (outdated) and most everything 'buntard. Been at it for a few days . . .

Nope. Haven't thought about it, probably because I don't use xterm. And if I did, I'd probably just add a font name and size to the Exec line in the .desktop file.
Code:
xterm -fa mono -fs 12 -geometry 80x20+0+0
You may or may not need the geometry. I believe the numbers are WxH+X+Y. (width, height and position)

I don't use xterm either but when I click on your 'how big' custom script, it comes up in xterm. Since I don't know how to change the default terminal in the script, I went for an.Xresources solution. I still need to tweak it a bit more.

Last few times I used magic sysrq keys, some of them weren't working. R and B worked, and K works, too (to kill the xsession). Guess I should look into that. And no, I don't think of everything. One time I needed them and found out that debian had disabled them, so I had to press the big button. That was enough to convince me.

Yup. Experience is a good teacher . . . ;)

Then I tackled the font size in xterm - no way I could read that miniscule font. Ever thought about including some tweaks in an .Xresources file? Would be a nice addition and only about 1kb.
