gnome-terminal-1.0.7

[James Green <gnome cyberstorm demon co uk>]

Hi there,

I've been using gnome-terminal in place of E-term-0.8.9 for the past
couple of days and have come across the following:

* When using BitchX irc client, the updation of the terminal (when new
text comes in) causes a flicker. I assume this could be a gtk widjet
strutting it's stuff, but regardless I'd prefer to see a screen-update
without the flicker. If it updates too fast, you could see a strobing
effect which wouldn't be nice for some people's eyes.

* using the Lucinda Console fomt, I'm seeing apparently randomly-placed
pixels appearing. I guess this is part of the update or something, but
using vim with a php file and syntax highlighting, it corrupts the display
badly. Doesn't appear to be the case in, say, pine.

(Could both of these problems be related to the fact that they both use
colour?)

Oh, and a suggestion - my gnome-terminals are all set to use transparency
with shading. Could it have a slider to select shading by a given
percentage? Maybe also tinting as well. Maybe I just love E-term too much
:-)

Many thanks.
