I recommended gnome-terminal. Marc's retort [0] was only one line: "Have you ever *used* gnome-terminal? 'Nuff said." Naturally, since he provided *zero* substantiation for his position (if you could even call it that), I asked if he had in fact used it. Now, I don't consider that bouncing email around. He did not provide a single point why gnome-terminal was unsuitable, so I'd like to see at least one. BTW, I never claimed that gnome-terminal was a even a passable clone of xterm. Jerome wanted a possible substitude for multi-gnome-terminal. I figured the killer feature for him was multiple terminals, thus I recommended gnome-terminal. > (Your webpage doesn't work very well with Opera ;-) > Care to provide a screenshot? I test in Opera on Mac OS X and Linux and it looks no different than in Firefox. Regards, -Roberto [0] http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2007/01/msg00002.html -- Roberto C.
