Note that Eterm has had a history of horrific security vulnerabilities
(for instance, an application outputting "\033]6;73;xterm\007" would
cause xterm to be launched for 4 months of Eterm's lifetime...).  I
don't know that I would trust the author's ability to consider
security enough to trust their software as the only layer between me
and a malicious program...
