Re: Preferred terminal emulator

although it tends to not clean up its threads when closed.

Ha! I am not the only one experiencing that problem - good to know. For
anybody wondering what Jose is talking about, just open up tn5250j and close
it, then check the Processes tab in System Monitor (Ubuntu terms) and you
should see a Process Name of "java" that is for the supposedly ended tn5250j
application. If you don't catch this then after starting tn5250j a number
of times you will have a bunch of processes that are still out there
consuming 150MB+ of memory for each instance.

I guess I should really be logging this on the sourceforge.net forum now
that I know people are still monitoring that project.

Last year I the official IBM client, but found it annoying to install and
unstable. Tn5250 was better, and I really liked the multitabbed tn5250j,
although it tends to not clean up its threads when closed. In the end I was
more comfortable running Symtrax through Wine.



What are your experiences with terminal emulation on Linux desktops?



P.S.

I think this list is a great idea, and this topic should be a good starting
point. Kudos for all the Linux users out there.
