here is the line that i have in my windowmaker toolbar thingy icon:
rxvt -bg black -fg darkgrey -ls -title amidala
(Funny, I thought I used to have -n amidala in there tooo..... <shrug>)
I like rxvt since it takes less memory than xterm, less memory than kterm,
less memory than eterm, less memory than gterm, etc. All that, and I can get
a nice black background, text that isn't so bright, and easy-to-change font
sizes (shift++ and shift+- from the numpad)
I have yet to try nxterm that one sees from all the redhat screenshots -- it
might have lower memory usage, it might not. I am happy enough now that I
have a good black background in an application with low overhead. :)
(At times I wonder hwy I bought a color monitor and video card... my X is
normally full of these rxvts, black, and dark grey.... heheh :)
(Oh yeah, if memory is a big concern of yours, use the -e flag to rxvt to
start up the command directly, rather than starting it from a bash -- for a
savings of about a meg! (Is this concern over memory silly when I have 128?
:) :)
