gnome-terminal from GNOME2 or GNOME3?

GNOME2, the useful one. ;)   Technically it's MATE Terminal, as I
jumped ship from Ubuntu to Mint when the Ubuntu guys started getting
"big head" problems and messed everything up.

I love the idea of MATE, GNOME3 is a disaster, and continuing GNOME2 is a great thing.   Mind, on Linux I just use Openbox anyway...


Do you have any specific advice for xterm resource settings etc for
better compatibility?   I'm less worried about fonts...I'm comfortable
wrangling them, been using X since the X10R4 (no typo there) days, but
I'm not too concerned with maintaining font appearance compatibility.
It's more keypad stuff, and functionality needed to drive EDT in a
high-efficiency way.

That's going back quite a ways. ;)

Yes, sadly.   But in my heart and mind, I'm still 22.
