gnome-terminal resizes fast in XFCE but on my system has some really ugly flashing in it as it does the resize. Thanks for the help on the acceleration option. that's a good one and I think you recommended it maybe a month or two ago when I was having trouble with my wife's machine. Didn't help there on that problem but certain helps here. Cheers, Mark
