sound like in the process of reinventing the wheel they made it really really
shiny and oval. it will get you where you're going, and look good doing it,
but damn if the ride won't hurt.

actually i quit using gnome terminal (even when i was trying out the gnome
desktop) when i saw that it slowed down my compiles by 20+ percent. something
is way wrong when a terminal has that kinda of effect on things. i'll stick to
xterm, it's got it's issues, but it doesn't slow me down.
