Is 261 the version number? I have XTerm(278) (on 'xterm -version') on Debian and on Solaris/SunOS ... hm, that option doesn't seem exist.

I suspect that the GNOME terminal is just a terminal like any other, with some modifications to make it fit with the GNOME project. The have a habit of doing that, and (without any insight other the intuition) to me, it looks like a waste of time. For example, there is gnome-screenshot. But there is also xwd and scrot, that do the same. So probably they did gnome-screenshot just to be able to show a setup window that would be consistent with the "look and feel" of everything else, when instead, focus should always be on the purpose of the application (capturing a screenshot). Anyway, back to xterm: yes, there is the "lesser copies" rxvt (reduced X VT: "reduced" as in memory usage), and urxvt (rxvt, but with Unicode support). > To be clear... the Meta key has worked as ALT does on linux > right from the start...
