[mgt-devel] (fwd) liborbit0ldbl and multi-gnome-terminal

[Fred Ollinger]

I don't know if anyone mentioned this all ready. If not, sorry.

There is a replacement for mgt called tabterm. It is similar enough so
that I actually do not miss mgt:

http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/e250b59492ecf493/317e9fdda143cb29?lnk=raot&fwc=1

It is fast and it actually looks a bit nicer than mgt, though mgt
users usually value speed over beauty as there are plenty other lovely
and sluggish terminal emulators out there.

I compiled my tabterm from scratch as I did not see the package in
unstable yet. If someone wants a zip of my binary let me know and I'll
send you a tarball you can unzip and use w/ a few libraries from
unstable. I've been installing the new libs from unstable and my
binary of tabterm still works great thus far.

Enjoy.

Fred
