Well, hm.  Actually, I think I want to be able to specify in the action
whether I want to use resize increments.

This way, I can have a keybinding that says resize to width 90 columns
(and apply it to terminals) as well as another keybinding that says
resize to screen width/2 = 1680px/2 = 880px and apply it to any window,
terminal or not.

That's cool!  I have to say 86 instead of 89 to get a 90 column window,
though.  Presumably, that's because of some minimum window size imposed
by gnome-terminal.  It's good that gnome-terminal didn't decide to show
0 columns when asked to resize to a width of 1 pixel :-)
