When using Ubuntu, I suggest the 'Xubuntu' Derivate, it uses XFCE as 
window manager. And use 'xterm', not one of them more modern terminal 
emulators. Why? It works... with the other emulators I sooner or later 
run into a problem and xterm allows lots of configuration options using 
the .Xresources or .Xdefaults file.
