Terminator is a great app.  I have been using it for a while now.  It allows
a lot more than just wallpapers in your terminal.  There are a great many
keyboard short cuts that for me are pretty well thought out.  The multiple
tabs, horizontal and vertical splits are what I use it for mostly.  Paired
with the keyboard short cuts I have a lot of control over the layout and
positioning of multiple terminal windows without having to touch the
rodent.  It can also be setup as a "desktop wallpaper" terminal with the
help of the all-tray utility.

It seems to be a python wrapper around gnome-terminal and as such can be a
bit of a resource hog.  I am not sure if it is the python bits or the
gnome-terminal bits that cause that.
