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.

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.
