No, that would be what I would have done, too, if I used X for
Emacs. Is 261 the version number? I have XTerm(278) (on 'xterm
-version') on Debian and on Solaris/SunOS ... hm, that option
doesn't seem exist. Investigating.

I suspect that the GNOME terminal is just a terminal like any
other, with some modifications to make it fit with the GNOME
project. The have a habit of doing that, and (without any insight
other the intuition) to me, it looks like a waste of time.
For example, there is gnome-screenshot. But there is also xwd and
scrot, that do the same. So probably they did gnome-screenshot
just to be able to show a setup window that would be consistent
with the "look and feel" of everything else, when instead, focus
should always be on the purpose of the application (capturing a
screenshot).
Anyway, back to xterm: yes, there is the "lesser copies" rxvt
(reduced X VT: "reduced" as in memory usage), and urxvt (rxvt, but
with Unicode support).

What do you mean, "as ALT does on Linux"?
