#!/bin/bash if which dbus-launch >/dev/null && test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"; then eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session` fi gnome-terminal $* & gnome-terminal used to be my favorite term app but since I cannot disable blinking cursor (via ssh) and I cannot pick a cursor color. I have decided to use other system.
