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.

I installed roxterm and rox-filer. Both are just nice behaving.
roxterm doesn't seem to differ in apearence, configurability or
behaviour, from xfce4-terminal or gnome-terminal.
rox-filer is nice looking, but it needs some configuration. Here
are the two waek points I noticed
- there is absolutely no application defined by default for any
file type; you must define them all - this is a miss in the packaging.
- there isn't a menu of possible applications for a given file
type. I like to be able to open an image with either a simple viewer or
with Gimp to edit it.
And here are some features I like:
- If you left-click with the shift key pressed, you always open the
file with the application you have defined for raw text. This allows to
edit an html file instead of browsing it.
- files are open on single click (double click in Thunar), though
this is a personal preference.
