enlightenment's terminal desktop is not correctly built up to pin to a docky dock.

alt + f2

gnome-terminal

run



sudo apt-get install konsole eterm lxterminal xfce4-terminal


go god mode....


sudo su


drop this block of code to fix things...



cat > /usr/share/applications/eterm.desktop << EOF

exit


press enter to exit god mode

some other terminals i have recently found are VERY impressive quake doom half life style terminals....

yakuake is a kde (konsole based) terminal emulator that binds to F12 to make the terminal show up/go away...

guake is a gnome version of yakuake, same for f12, but im sure instead binding to gnome libraries and would be more appropriate to ubuntu....

tilda is probably my favorite of the 3, can adjust terminal size lightweight very xfce appropriate. by default binds to F1 but you can reassign it to F12.

some more ok terminals are....

sakura, termit, roxterm (though it needs its colors re aranged)
