I use konsole terminal emulator part of KDE, under XFCE.

[root karsites]# yum whatprovides "/usr/bin/konsole"
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit

6:kdebase-4.4.5-1.fc12.i686 : KDE Core Files
Repo        : installed
Matched from:
Other       : Provides-match: /usr/bin/konsole

I can ssh -X 10.x.x.x to a remote machine with that.
Ctrl keys work OK on konsole.
