gnome-terminal stores the scrollback content in a temporary file, opened at the standard location which is /tmp by default, overridable with the standard TMPDIR environment variable. > May be "unlimited" should be understood as "unlimited within reasonable limits"? g-t tries to do what you ask from this. If you ask this to remember everything, it tries to store everything. What do you mean by "reasonable limits"? E.g. 1 million lines?
