Thanks for the answers - much clearer now.

I think wterm is better looking than xterm - and good enough for me.
It might just be a matter of a larger font.

Suggestions:
* If we think that most people don't have many terminal windows, and
don't need the tabs feature, perhaps wterm can be made the default
terminal, and LXTerminal installed as an alternative.
* Is it possible to add an icon to an X application? (I.e. that shows
up when tabbing between windows.) If so, a simple icon for wterm would
be handy.

Just fyi, the lightest terminal I've found is called stterm - see
st.suckless.org. The site makes interesting reading (and it calls
xterm bloated). I don't use it because it doesn't let me select and
copy text from the terminal. I'm told it "can't do UTF-8." It's also
harder to read even than xterm, I think.
