After giving up on Apple’s tremendously lame Terminal.app, and trying out iTerm (it’ll get better), I’ve now switched to running xterms on Apple’s X11 build. It’s not too bad. A few annoyances (can’t map quick key to application launch, doesn’t support Apple Copy/Paste mapping into an xterm, .xsession doesn’t seem to be working), but those might be workaround-able with something like Youpi Key or a Window Manager. If not, I can give GLterm a try I suppose. Sad thing? X11 loads only just a hair slower than the Terminal.app [in case you didn’t already know that Terminal.app was a big bloated piece of crap].
