I am happy to use various tools if there's a sane reason to do it - however I fail to see any concrete benefit of using xterm over Terminal.app on OS X. Again, what is the show-stopping bug that should make me swap over? Already answered that one, as far I am concerned. Your requirements might not be the same as mine, so you'll have to decide yourself. Fair enough, so there isn't a specific issue, it's just vaguely "buggy"? I'll stick to Terminal.app :) Sampsa
