I use Eterm because it behaves the best for me.

I use a little script to start it:

(72)[4:08pm] > cat ~/bin/eterm.sh
#!/bin/sh

# Default settings
#
#GEOM=170x50
GEOM="167x65-26-79"
FONT="-jmk-neep-medium-*-*-*-15-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"

if [ "$1" = "big" ] ; then
   GEOM="120x40"
   FONT="10x20"
fi

Eterm                                                           \
       --name eterm                                            \
       --font ${FONT}                                          \
       --geometry ${GEOM}                                      \
       -f white                                                \
       -b black                                                \
       --resize-gravity off                                    \
       --double-buffer on                                      \
       --scrollbar off                                         \
       --buttonBar no



I don't turn on transparency because I just let beryl handle it so
that I can have true transparency.
