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.
