ah. (some sort of expected behaviour ;)

hm, xfce4-terminal is a somewhat better terminal, IMHO, but what I really
want is one which I can easily configure to support font-size-resizing
via keyboard-ctrols (ctrl +- works out of the box in gnome-terminal) and
xfce4-terminal doesn't support that :/
For now my workaround is: (using i3) $mod-Shift-Return gives me an xterm in a
new disposable VM and then $mod-Return will give me a gnome-terminal in there…
