[SOLVED] xterm is being terrible customized in -current
by igadoter from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4TJMF)
It just obvious. Xterm is almost unresponsive to its standard built in menu. With predefined fonts is completely useless for commands with long listings: eg. mail clients. It is supposed to be functional tool - so lets go back to its previous predefined settings - even konsole in KDE 4 is better customized - and what is important it allows easy done settings. If someone is looking for more nicer looking terminal emulator there is of course xfce-terminal. Do you believe that in fully maximized xterm on my 1200x800 screen is exactly 37 lines of input/output? In other words full screen terminal listing contains 37 lines. This almost VGA standard 24 lines on terminal. Manipulating font sizes does not help much - they are just being almost unreadable. Of course I can always switch to virtual console - and I often do - which ha 80 lines of input.
