Apropos, I am also using Terminology ... with non-critical OS tasks:
Once upon a time, I had 5 concurrent Terminology tabs where one was
doing a Debian upgrade, the other 4 tabs I was doing some other tasks.
I switched tab to check on the OS upgrade status - and glimpsed a GUI
dialog prompting for something and then it disappeared into the
blackness of Terminology background. I had to CTRL + C to snap out of
the unintelligible prompt and ended up interrupting libc6 upgrade. I
had to reinstall OS ;-)

Anyhow, I just want Apache OpenOffice to be viable under
Enlightenment. Thank you in advance for your insight, Carsten.
