Install rxvt on your system and run sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator.

Then choose rxvt, and that is finished.

	That worked, but it doesn't get started from the `Accesories > Terminal` (Ubuntu Netbook Remix)? Do I have to put some lines in my `.bashrc`? I'm new to Linux... – guillermooo Oct 24 '09 at 12:45
	Go to System/Preferences/Prefered Applications/System and choose your favorite terminal emulator. – Dom Oct 24 '09 at 15:29
