I suggest that you try tmux (or screen) - this is far superiour to multitab since you can easily also put it to the background or access it remotely. My default zsh login files start a tmux session automatically (so did my previous bash login files with screen, but I do not use bash anymore for an interactive shell). > the tabs where customizable to show current dir or rename manually. > When I would "ssh" into a remote system, the IP address was prominently > displayed in the tab header; essential for managing tons of remote > devices. This is all a question of setting an appropriate prompt which also sets the terminal title correspondingly. I suggest that you have a look at e.g. app-shells/set_prompt from the mv overlay. > One last problem is my lxtermnal session do not remember their previous > screen location or size (geometry) Probably for every terminal program there are corresponding Xresources. For instance, for xterm, I have set XTerm.VT100.Geometry: 80x25 Alternatively you can specify -geometry on the command line. Probably it is possible to write something which saves the current geometry somewhere. I find this always disturbing, and one of my first configuration fixes in KDE (when I was still using it) had always been to turn off this misfeature... > I would encourage any and all without tons of > free ram, to ditch KDE (dunno about gnome)....... ++
