    well, tried it out -- it's very nice, maybe a little less flexiblethan
    m-g-t, but on my system the display is unsaitsfactorily ugly. will try
    to work out the kinks.

    In the meantime, I guess I'll try to get gnome-terminal working. I
    fixed my font problem, using the font Fixed(misc) -- now it looks
    perfect! But does anyone know how to set mgt-helper so that clicking on
    a url in multi-gnome-terminal opens a new tab in firefox?

    I'm thinking something like this:
    in .gnome/Gnome:
    http-show=mgt-helper -u "%"

    in .mgt-helper.rc:
    HTTP_HELPER="/usr/bin/firefox --remote (openurl('%s',new-tab)"

    or else just, in .gnome/GNome:
    http-show=/usr/bin/firefox --remote 'openurl("%s",new-tab)'

    but I can't make either of these work. In fact, I seem to have broken
    Oh, and also,
    mgt-helper -m <a href="mailto:me@localhost"> gives a bash error, rather
    than opening up mutt. anyone have any ideas?

    thanks as always,
    matt
