Having used the new terminal for two days now, and having just upgraded to Gnome 2 last night, I can now actually say that I love the new terminal. AFTER I got the configuration out of the way (which had to be done through gconftool since the preferences menu seems to be half-dead) everything went fine. The keyboard shortcuts for tabs are very nice. My only complaint now is that the tabs are still in their infancy. You can't combine two terminal windows into one window with tabs, take a tab off and create a window with it, etc. But I believe that that will come with time. Now if only I could change the keybindings for Fullscreen mode I'd be all set. :) -Alex
