The latest Debian/Unstable has a newer buggier version of Konsole and I'm looking for a new Xterm type program. An ideal Konsole replacement would allow configuration of the field split characters for double-click copy/paste and have a slider at the side for scrolling back (xterm allows the mouse wheel but doesn't have a slider).
It would also allow ^+ and ^- to be used for changing font size (as all web browsers seem to do).
My favourite for a long time was mrxvt - it's extremely fast (much faster than of the libvte based terms). I had to give it up about a year ago because I could no longer get away with ignoring unicode and hoping it would go away :) i settled on roxterm as being the best of the libvte-based terminals. works pretty well with default settings, but has some nice configuration options. it has all three of your requirements (configurable mouse selection, optional scrollbar on either left or right, and resize with ^+ & ^-), but i think pretty nearly all modern terminals do these days. xterm is probably the only one that doesn't.
What's a good desktop replacement for KDE? I want something that looks like OS/2 2.0+, is reasonably fast (not the slow login of modern KDE), and which has widgets for times in multiple time zones and clipboard management.
that really depends on what features you use most from KDE. i switched from gnome 2 to xfce some time ago. it does what i want without being annoying (i.e. without trying to force an "experience" on me). i expect you could find an os/2-ish theme for xfce, xfce-look.org would be the place to search. it has a clipboard manager, but i have no idea how it compares to KDE's. dunno about the multi-time zone clock. i'm sure there are generic apps to do that, but i think you mean an applet that stays in the panel or on the desktop. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au> BOFH excuse #363: Out of cards on drive D:
