xfce4-terminal 0.0.2 is out

[Antonio SJ Musumeci]

Small and fast would be my vote also. Instead of tabs... or in addition 
option to.... something like how emacs deals with multible buffers when 
run in X mode would be nice. Holding control and clicking left mouse 
button brings up a menu with the buffers. That could allow for less 
space to be used but give the multi terminal ability. Which would be 
nice for example on my 1024x768 development laptop where screen space is 
very precious.
