[wplug] Favorite X Terms

[Person, Roderick]

I use FreeBSD so I don't know if all things are the same but,

To get a transparent terminal with rxvt, or wterm(my term) use the -tr
switch. I used e-term a few times, I like some of it options but find that
wterm is lighter and faster. It has scrollbars and transparency too.
