I got one, the only reason I could think why, was that gmail kept 
putting various emails into spam. There seemed to be no reason why gmail 
did this, so I added a gmail filter to not send any mail from dng to spam.

Thanks for all the input!

Guake wasn't what I wanted so thought I'd install LXDE and have at it 
(as Steve mentioned). Seems OK so far even with xfce-terminal in 
dropdown mode. Time will tell.. hotkey configuration is a bit annoying 
but oh well. XML beats a registry any day ;)

[DNG] XFCE terminal alternatives?

[dev]

I've been using Devuan on my desktop for a number of months now. Very 
nice! Only thing is about once a week the XFCE Terminal (in drop down 
mode) will sort of crash when closing GTK applications.


Sometimes closing Geeqie will crash it, other times Firefox. Not sure 
how that's related.


The application doesn't segfault, but rather the area on the desktop 
which is occupied by the terminal will repaint entirely black. If I 
switch to another desktop, I can trigger a drop-down which basically 
moves the black area to the current desktop. Input seems to be funneled 
to the application which was previously focused even with the black 
window on top of everything else.


The only way to get rid of the problem is to open an Xterm and kill the 
xfce-terminal process. Consequently, this also trashes anything running 
in the myriad of tabs which may have been open.


I like the tabs and the drop-down feature of XFCE Terminal as well as 
the light footprint. I've tried others[1] such as Terra Terminal, 
Terminator and Yakuake but can't seem to find one with all the right 
features. Any suggestions?  ...installing Guake atm..

Guake is good for stuff that it's good for.

I've always found Xfce a little bit glitchy. You might want to try
installing and running LXDE, with it's lxterminal as an almost
identical substitute to xfce4-terminal. Not only that, but it's just
possible that xfce4-terminal will behave better in an LXDE environment
than it did in an Xfce environment. I put LXDE on all my laptops,
because if my computer simply must work, and I need a panel, then LXDE
is what I want.

You could also try Openbox plus Dmenu. And I highly recommend using
Dmenu with LXDE: It's easy.

By the way, all the preceding is a guess. And everything I suggested is
easily reversible. It's easy to flip between LXDE and Xfce.

HTH,

As drop-down terminal I have yeahconsole installed. No tabs, but it is
fast and fully configurable via Xresources. And it's the perfect
"session-manager" on my >10 years old laptop.

Everything else I do in tiled xterms – on my 5 years younger desktop as
well. I have lxterminal installed, but I'm not planning to get used to
waaaiting for a terminal window to open.

(BTW, it might be interesting to know, which Devuan release you are
running!)

You could have a look at AltYo

https://github.com/linvinus/AltYo

I always compiled from  git but there is evidence of debian
packaging in repo so should be easy to install on devuan?

best regards

I use terminator ([1]) and have not observerd such problems with XFCE.

I originally started using it instead of XFCE terminal because it
allows to set an individual handler application for opening http(s)
links.

T.
