I just sent mail to your iTerm account asking if you *could* so to see that you 
already did so was very nice. Many thanks.

I'm grateful that Terminal gives me a chance to confirm before closing down 
processes I had left running.

It should *not* be warning you about shells started by opening new Terminal 
windows or tabs, only about processes you started in those shells.

That sounds annoying. Have you discussed the problem with the developer of 
iTerm2 to see if that behavior is intended or if it could perhaps be changed?

[confirm[ etc

The processes are bash

FWIW I tried to build gnome-terminal and xfce4-terminal both of which did not 
succeed.

I’ll try sleep and shutdown once a week to claim leaked memory etc, I always 
though fvwm was a dog, now I miss the  ability to not have an [Exit] button.

Thanks all

Terminal and iTerm2 work well enough for me. I don't quite follow the problems 
you're having with them.

I don't have a middle mouse button. It looks iTerm2's preferences have middle 
mouse button bound to paste. If that's what's happening for you, and you don't 
want that to happen, you can change the preferences to make it do something 
else, or nothing.

What is the shutdown message in terminal?  If it is the one requesting 
confirmation it can be turned off in terminal system preferences.
