Right clicking on the desktop will now get you terminator. The only slight objection regarding terminator would be that it adds several Gnome-related and Gtk dependencies. If you buikld it from source, even more stuff will be compiled and installed (as build dependencies). So maybe using "pkg install terminator" will be a _little_ more convenient? ;-) Managing several terminal sessions in one terminal window, even if it's just ye olde xterm, can be accomplished with lightweight tools such as screen and tmux. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
