It would just be "another huge terminal".
My own preference is somewhat similar, though less severe. I don't see any reason to tie in to gnome or kde. They are very useful and good sometimes, but also are bloated and inefficient. But I've had good experiences using robust libraries not tied into either of those. As a side note on this topic, I looked at libvte. My initial reaction is that it doesn't offer anything significant over mrxvt. Even at a quick glance, I don't see much benefit, if any. No worries about me proposing that library any time soon. :) David ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Materm-devel mailing list Materm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/materm-devel mrxvt home page: http://materm.sourceforge.net
