It's not critical, but I sort of like the softer look.

gnome-terminal resizes fast in XFCE but on my system has some really
ugly flashing in it as it does the resize.

Thanks for the help on the acceleration option. that's a good one and
I think you recommended it maybe a month or two ago when I was having
trouble with my wife's machine. Didn't help there on that problem but
certain helps here.

Cheers,
