Sneaky.

Can you defend the choice?

FWIW here are my arguments for rxvt:

	- it behaves the same on all Windows versions
	- it has a scroll back (which you have to activate on cmd first)
	- it is resizable
	- it has sane copy&paste behaviour (which you have to activate on 
		cmd first, and then still have to hit the Return key after 
		having selected some text)

Ciao, Dscho
