Alternative to aterm?
hello, I want a terminal which I can intergrate into the desktop like aterm can do, be able to determine it's extact position on the desktop like I can do with aterm, and be able to get transparent, but the issue with aterm is that it acts like xterm etc, I need an vte based terminal which can do this, does that really exist?

The Terminal of XFCE4, maybe? The dependencies are lightweight and it does the job quite well. Goes by the name of "terminal" and resides in [extra].

You mean the positioning, I guess. Well, yeah. I always thought that this is best done by the Windowmanager.

I prefer to get the terminal to do that.
