Am i the only one who thinks that the current incarnation of > gnome-terminal is slow and a resource hog? > No. I recently tried just about every terminal I could get my hands on, and settled on using aterm like this: aterm -bg black -fg white +sb -tr -sh 15 -sl 10000 -si -sk -fn 8x13 -ls -geometry 80x36 and I have room for four of them at once not overlapping. I find that 8x13 and 9x15 are the most readable console fonts. Anti-aliasing just sucks in a terminal anyway (which is all that aterm cannot do), as much as I like bitstream vera, and gnome-terminal's scrolling is atrocious (previous versions don't seem to have this problem). I guess aa is okay for black text on a white background, but I like a black semi-transparent background. Cheers, Chris
