A possible answer to my earlier question about grouping buttons on the task bar is to use a terminal emulator that supports tabbed shells. It would free up a few ‘button spaces’ on my taskbar.

Does anyone use a terminal emulator that supports this, or can you recommend one?

The 2600 mailing list suggested I open a single session to a UNIX box with putty, and then use screen to open several virtual terminals. I can then detatch from the one session, come home (or go to the office) and reattach a single session, and have my dozen windows open.

And no, I can’t install KDE to use Konsole. Or OSX to use iTerm.
