I used to run Terminal a lot, but I kind of abandoned it when I moved to Openbox. And since I mentally associate it with Xubuntu, I have a tendency to skip things that are XFCE-based. Looks like there are quite a few more dependencies for xfce4-terminal than Sakura, though.

There is also Terminal, which is shipped with Xfce but doesn’t require it. It integrates with Gtk+ very nicely including, menubar, toolbars, tabs and context menu. True transparency is available as well.

Pretty easy to compile in Ubuntu (Gutsy, at least): just get libgtk2.0-dev (if you don’t have it already) and libvte-dev, and you’re a “./0″, a “make” and a “sudo checkinstall -D” (to get that .deb file as well) away from a really cool term.

Doesn’t replace urxvt for me, though! I have tabbed urxvt’s by default (Fluxbox rules hehe – I know you’re more of an Openbox guy), pseudo-transparency and acceptable fonts with it, anyway. It’s lighter and also seems faster, so urxvt is still the champ!
