Comment 4 for bug 41791

1)Hmm what does not persist here is the state of the toggles accesible in the View Menu of the main menubar. However setting it in edit->preferences->appearance makes it live thoughout invocations.
Look for the state of MiscMenubarDefault in ~/.config/Terminal/terminalrc
do this in the terminal then go to the dialog and toggle that check
$ watch -n 1 grep Menubar /home/jani/.config/Terminal/terminalrc
it should change in the file as well

2) panel help yes I know, it even provides xfce 4.2 help since upstream has not updated to 4.4 yet.

3) how do you find zen compared to xubuntu (wrt performance, selection of apps and whatever other criteria you find important?)
