-========================================================================
+GNOME Terminal is a terminal emulation application that you can use to
+perform the following actions:
-This is the GNOME terminal emulator application. gnome-terminal is
-only the shell (menubar, prefs dialog); the terminal emulation ("stuff
-in the middle") comes from the VTE widget.
+Access a UNIX shell in the GNOME environment.
-How it works:
+Run any application that is designed to run on VT102, VT220, and xterm
+terminals.
-Profiles -
- all settings are stored in profiles. prefs dialog edits the current
- profile
-
-Session -
- just the number of open windows/tabs and their profile is stored
- per-session
-
-Command line options -
- do not overlap things that are preferences
-
-========================================================================
-
-POST INSTALL RUN:
-
-bash# killall gconfd-2
-
-The terminal doesn't launch until that is done.
-Have no idea why, if you do please let me know =D

-========================================================================
+GNOME Terminal accepts all of the escape sequences that the VT102 and
+VT220 terminals use for functions such as positioning the cursor and
+clearing the screen.
