8 I have, see other posts, and it's about 1/2 as fast as rxvt(-unicode).
9 But the deal breaker for me is the color support. It's not nearly as
10 good as xterm or rxvt(-unicode) (here my bash prompt that is set to some
11 nice colors is displayed as underlined in gnome-terminal and blinking in
12 konsole). And another realy nice feature of rxvt(-unicode) is that the
13 text rewraps if you change the window size.
