I ended up switching to rxvt-unicode (featureful but a bit of a hassle to learn how to configure) with the provided kuake Perl script and GNU screen for the tabs when I got fed up with how much heavier the KDE 4 version was. (Among other reasons, I try to keep my desktop as comfortable as possible on my old 2Ghz Celeron with 1GiB of RAM as a way to control bloat on my Athlon II X2 270 with 16GiB.) Now all I need to do is to find time to optimize my .zshrc. (Currently, urxvt appears as quickly as Leafpad but then waits a couple of seconds before displaying a prompt while it does things like populating its Tab completion cache. One reason why my .zshrc displays the fortune command's output as early as possible.) |
