Now, after the change, it does three things differently and annoyingly: (1) it defaults to black/colored text on a white background; (2) it doesn't have a scrollbar of any sort; and (3) there's no menubar with basic "File"/"Edit" etc. options. I can somewhat get around (1) by launching it with "xterm -r", although while this does display white/colored on black, it also makes other menus (e.g. those launched with ctrl-[mouse buttons]) look incomplete. But (2) is the worst; I really need to have scrollbars with this. I see that there's a toggleable option to "Enable Scrollbar" that I get to with ctrl-Mouse2, but this isn't a regular scrollbar that I can click up and down on, with a moveable thumb, etc., as I used to have before the upgrade and as the gnome-terminal has now. I'd be very grateful for a solution to this. Is there a mailing list for Gnome questions? I couldn't easily find one on the Gnome site, and I have various questions not specific to FreeBSD. Thanks.
