I would like to cut down the number of packages in BLFS. The maintenance
burden is tremendous and we have lots of duplication of capabilities. When
it comes to terminals, we have:
xterm
gnome-terminal
xfce4-terminal
lxterminal
qterminal
konsole4
konsole5
I propose that we remove konsole4 and gnome-terminal.

I have no objection to removing either of these.
<inflammatory comment>But you missed one - rxvt-unicode aka urxvt :
Yes, I missed that. I suspect you would prefer not to remove that.
actually, I would be happy if we removed xterm (and luit) because
Yes, it has 'baggage' (& ~poor defaults), but I'd suggest keeping xterm -
not least as an ~expected part of basic/core x environment; cf twm .
I agree that xterm is not that useful because of the difficult
configuration, but it is classic and, like twm and xclock, allows testing
of Xorg early. None of these is particularly hard to to /update/install/test.
