Steve,

I hear you.  And I apologize if this is a really dumb follow up
question.

But if I run "x-terminal-emulator" what launches...lxterminal.  So...??

I thought deepin's tab/ssh approach was interesting and had potential.

Unfortunately, my few minutes of testing deepin found many serious
usability problems.

I apologize if this sounds harsh.  But the reality with linux is you
need the console to get things done/unbreak things.  Having to dive
under the hood is what users fear most.  Anything that clearly makes
this experience better or worse has high impact.

Being able to scroll back or resize a terminal window is essential
functionality. Anything that makes this in any way complicated or broken
is going to be received poorly.

Deepin's borderless windows break consistency with every other Lubuntu
app, and make it (even more of) a nightmare to resize the window.  The
fact that the scrollbar on the right auto-hides completely...after which
even clicking and dragging where the scrollbar should be (even when the
cursor changes from the text carrot to the pointer arrow!!!) won't allow
you to click and scroll back to see past commands...The only non-obvious
way to get the scroll bar to appear again (temporarily) is to press
enter into the command prompt and then the scroll bar appears for a few
seconds.  The only way to move the window is to click and drag the top
where the window title bar normally be...but the top is the same solid
black as everything else so there's no clear delineation of where the
top title bar should be.

I think deepin has some nice ideas with the "+" to easily add a new tab
and ssh sessions, etc.  But a terminal who's ability to scroll back is
broken is useless.
