But recently discovered that xfce4-terminal loses critical

to the cut buffer and clipboard ... which really destroys its

similar, based on the same engine I believe, but it does the cut
buffer and clipboard etc directly, as it should.
Hi Simon,
Thanks to your recommendation, I just started using roxterm. What a
breath of fresh air! Tabbed. Multiple profiles mean all sorts of
different terminals for different needs. No unholy union to a "desktop
environment" other than the rox filemanager system.
they are independent, I think ... though perhaps some D&D might be a bit cleaner
between them??? they both just interact with X and allow extensive file-based
configuration if you want to use it. Last time I tried both worked fine just in
X alone, no other management.
I need several different types of terminal emulators for several
different types of jobs. From now on I'm using roxterm instead of
xfce4-terminal for all new construction.
"profiles" can easily be invoked on CL if you want distinctive appearance to
indicate different tasks.
Simon
