urxvt is the terminal that causes the least pain here, too.

I stopped using the daemon-mode that day, one of the terminals crashed so
badly, all the others were dead too. Since that day I use single processes
for every window again. I just don't want that risk. A few MB free RAM are
not worth it. And if the Memory consumtion of your terminals really is a
problem: buy more RAM! :-)
