Description

gnome-terminal is a terminal emulator program that is part of the GNOME project. It provides access to the Unix shell on the GNOME environment.

gnome-terminal supports color display (see the section on environment variables for details) and provides mouse support to applications that are aware of mouse events for xterm-like terminals.
