I don't actually use Debian at present; I use Ubuntu. That may limit my usefulness. However, at the very least, I'd be happy to try doing this: > 1.

What counts as "the major terminals"? Obviously xterm, uxterm, gnome-terminal, konsole, and which others? Should I use popcon to find out (how?)? Or can we draw up an arbitrary list? Basic use of apt-cache search and grep suggests the following: gnome-terminal xterm eterm evilvte guake kterm lxterminal mlterm mlterm-tiny mrxvt mrxvt-cjk mrxvt-mini pterm roxterm rxvt rxvt-beta rxvt-ml rxvt-unicode rxvt-unicode-256color rxvt-unicode-lite sakura terminal.app terminator vala-terminal wterm wterm-ml xfce4-terminal xvt konsole I'd be quite happy to whip through that lot and see what the defaults are. -- http://rrt.sc3d.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
