Hmmm ..... Two thoughts: I use gnome-terminal rather than xterm;
and I keep font size, background color, and other things carefully
configured, differently for several different tabs, all of which I keep
open all the time (on a workspace of their own).
Is it safe to assume there would be some way of putting the extra
switches, or parameters, or whatever, into the terminal as called from
pan to expand it then and only then?
