Compiz settings seem to required closing and re-opening the window to apply.

I followed instructions and ended up with a terminal that displays a normal window with window borders and no menu so I cannot, without researching how to reset, undo this change. Very, very, bad advice. Bad advice!

Hi, I actually used the Compiz approach, and I left everything the way it was before changing a thing. The funny thing is that the "backspace" key returned ^H on a xgterm before, now it works as it was in a gnome-terminal (delete), whereas the same key now returns a small square with 0s and a 1 (or seven) in a gnome-terminal. Same behavior with the arrow keys. I couldn't find anything clear about this subject. cheers. seba @Damien.

But one thing, after doing all that, my backspace and arrow keys are not working properly, it's a mess. By pressing the backspace key I get some symbols, also with esc key. I spent some time trying to figure it how but I have no idea how to get those keys again. The compatibility tab doesn't change a thing. seba Hi, great post.

There is one small change that will keep terminal from showing up the how you want it to. In terminal under "Profile Preferences" change the option "When terminal commands set their own titles:" to "Keep initial title". Followed the rest of the instructions to the dot and it worked perfectly. Thanks! I had the same problem where the window would not disappear in 9.04.
