Hi,

Konsole for example doesn't provide line wrapping, when resizing the
window.

Konsole isn't GTK, so it requires to use the qt5ct plugin, but the
fonts anyway remain a PITA when using it, on a lightweight WM like
openbox.

mate-terminal and xfce4-terminal are at least vte based, but among
other issues, they suffer from the line wrapping issue too.

gnome-terminal is vte3 based, as ROXTerm is, too. At least the line
wrapping works as it does for ROXTerm.

Until now I guess, the best replacement for ROXTerm might be
gnome-terminal, but I didn't really used it until now and the line
wrapping not really is that important for me, more important e.g. is
command line compatibility.

Regards,
Ralf
