	Not to be pedantic, but konsole does this too. Of course, some people like to 
have borderless consoles (usually monitoring /var/log/messages or something) 
sitting on their desktop; for that, aterm is usually the best, in that it 
offers the transparency and image control of both konsole and eterm without 
the extra weight.
	Eterm does have "themes," so that you can change the menus and whatnot, but 
the only advantage I can see for this is with IRC or ssh sessions, in which 
case konsole has its bookmarks.
