Mmm. When I want to run more then one terminal, it doesn't work as I

That sure doesn't sound very Linux-like, does it? I'm assuming you're
having these problems on openSUSE 11 -- I don't have that installed
yet, but thinking about doing it this afternoon. When I do, I'll see if
I get the same result. Sounds suspiciously like it could be related to
your single GUI problem, too . . .

Well, the single GUI is solved and I also found some workarounds for
some of the problems.
1) The problem was cause by adding --display=:0.0 and such.
2) Workaround for not closing the open gnome-terminal is by making
symlinks to many of them:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 houghi users 23 2008-06-28 13:52 gnome-terminal0 -> /usr/bin/gnome-terminal*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 houghi users 23 2008-06-28 13:51 gnome-terminal1 -> /usr/bin/gnome-terminal*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 houghi users 23 2008-06-28 13:52 gnome-terminal2 -> /usr/bin/gnome-terminal*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 houghi users 23 2008-06-28 13:52 gnome-terminal3 -> /usr/bin/gnome-terminal*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 houghi users 23 2008-06-28 13:52 gnome-terminal4 -> /usr/bin/gnome-terminal*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 houghi users 23 2008-06-28 13:52 gnome-terminal5 -> /usr/bin/gnome-terminal*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 houghi users 23 2008-06-28 13:52 gnome-terminal6 -> /usr/bin/gnome-terminal*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 houghi users 23 2008-06-28 13:52 gnome-terminal7 -> /usr/bin/gnome-terminal*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 houghi users 23 2008-06-28 13:52 gnome-terminal8 -> /usr/bin/gnome-terminal*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 houghi users 23 2008-06-28 13:52 gnome-terminal9 -> /usr/bin/gnome-terminal*

Next to have each termanal open differently:
#slrn
gnome-terminal0 --window-with-profile=slrn --hide-menubar -t `which slrn` --geometry=86x78-70+0 -x slrn
#Screen 1, Workspace 3, the three ones
gnome-terminal1 --window-with-profile=Green --hide-menubar --geometry=109x32+64+0
gnome-terminal2 --window-with-profile=Green2 --hide-menubar --geometry=140x79-70+0
gnome-terminal3 --window-with-profile=Green --hide-menubar --geometry=109x46+64+491

#Screen 1, Workspace 4, the three ones
gnome-terminal4 --window-with-profile=Blue --hide-menubar --geometry=109x32+64+0
gnome-terminal5 --window-with-profile=Blue2 --hide-menubar --geometry=140x79-70+0
gnome-terminal6 --window-with-profile=Red --hide-menubar --geometry=109x46+64+491 -x su -

#Screen 0 Background
gnome-terminal7 --window-with-profile=fullscreen --hide-menubar --geometry=275x80+0+0

Disadvatage is that I can't just run it from one screen.

In Windowmaker I also disabled the titlebar and resizebar. Although many
things are working on the individual screens, those don't with
gnome-terminal, while they did with wterm and aterm.

However when I look at slrn, I do not get to see the background and
neither when I run mc or yast in a terminal.
