Comment 20 for bug 89660

Wow, as a brand new Ubuntu user coming over as a long time ~Red Hat user, this is my first negative impression. I install 7.04 flawlessly in less than hour. Very, very happy. I manually install very easily a bunch of other packages I need for both work and play in maybe another hour. I am really, really happy at this point. I then start the fine-tuning and spend maybe *six hours* to find a steenkin terminal app that works properly and that I like (has to have tabs)! ( I spend hours each day having to work via terminals connecting remotely.) Then I find this is a known issue for six months or so. Not very happy, to say the least. While apparently this is 'low priority' to gnome, fedora or ubuntu developers, it is hugely important to those who have to use terminal applications and editors like vim. .02, and I wish I knew more about apt so I get past this one. Having spent many years using multi-gnome-terminal and its little brother gnome-terminal, I guess my only choice is mrxvt. They seem like they might take this kind of thing seriously. Peace.
