Tried using xfce terminal but there's some kind of X related issue.
Seen especially when switching between virtual desktops. The X server
starts to use lots of cpu and when switching to the window that has the terminal running the switch is very slow. Maybe terminal is only to be used with xfce. I will try urxvt next since I like to have tabs.
I've been using Terminal in fluxbox since 10.2, following -current and I don't ever recall having issues on any hardware. Is is pc specific, or do you experience it on various models?
Only have one laptop. Using noveau KMS driver. But am using urxvt now with no problems at all. I would log a bug but have no idea where the problem lies. Seems to be with xfce terminal. No problem with xterm or rxvt either.
