Then I would increase the terminal size by typing ctrl-+ which will allow you to increase its size in steps instead of taking up the whole screen. Reduce size by typing ctrl - '-'. Also if you make an applet to open a gnome-terminal you could probably open it initially to any size you want using the --geometry option. -- Aaron Konstam tel: (210) 656-0355 akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
