I'd like to increase the padding in the gnome terminal, because the default has no padding and hurts my eyes.

(Padding as in: I want space between the window border and where the text input/output is displayed.)

For example:

=[X][-][ ]=============My Terminal==================
|                                                  |
|  $> echo "Padding occurs on both sides for long  |
|     input"                                       |
|                                                  |
|                                                  |
|                                                  |
