Gene, I'll +1 that. :-)
Despite preferring to use less effort than even ctrl+alt+t, with four
xterms being automatically started for me by gnome.
My ~/.gnomerc is:
#!/bin/bash
~/bin/xterms & # A script which starts 4 xterms, tiled to please.
----------------------
For just one, we could replace the xterms line with these:
col='-fg yellow -bg darkslategrey -cr red' # Colours
f='-fn 10x20' # 3 mm fontsize
w=100 # Width
l=50 # Length
/usr/bin/xterm $col $f $scroll -geometry ${w}x${l}+0+80 &
----------------------
But if the additional script is used, it can also open mutt in an xterm
in the top right corner, with customised double-click character class
behaviour, so all of a URL is picked up by the mouse. (The left hand
terminal is made to pick up "Full pathnames, IPs, email addresses,
simple URLs, lhs or rhs of =", which suits me better for general use.
A third xterm for my on-line manual has other settings again, to better
pick up that kind of material.[1])
If a computer doesn't have at least one xterm open at all times, then
I'm at a loss to use it.

that the 20,200 lines now display as 150 section headings, like a
TOC. That shows I could slightly tidy up what has accumulated over a
couple of decades.
