You might want to have a look at rxvt-unicode-lite or rxvt-unicode, the only problem (if you don't want tabs) is that its harder to setup, requiring .Xresources for persistent behavior, for example my settings: Rxvt*background: black Rxvt*foreground: white Rxvt*font: -*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-16-*-75-*-*-80-iso10646-1 Rxvt*scrollBar_right: true Rxvt*saveLines: 500 Rxvt*cursorColor2: blue > xterm, since gnome-termnal is "good enough."
