Works. Message is sent to term2 (pts/4).

As for your other req's for a new terminal program:

 Absolute requirements: 

must be able to CTL-click (or
something-click) urls to open them in a browser;
Yes. CTL-click works (and dynamically underlines the link before clicking).


must have either sane
or user-configurable double-click-select characters;
Yes:



configurable long
scrollback buffer.
Yes:


Gravy g-t has I can live without if I must: rewraps
long lines when window is resized.
Yes, confirmed.


Probably more things I can't
immediately think of but use every day :-)

KDE for the win?
