@Adam

The first time I stated ./terminal it worked fine (including 
Ctrl+) until I hit Ctrl+Shift. It went on strike right there. 
After restarting, anytime I click Ctrl it just hangs. After 
killing it I get the following error notification:

object.Exception at terminal.d(814): write failed for some reason

I used Xfce Terminal Emulator 0.4.8. on Ubuntu 12.04 (or .10?) 
LTS (with Xfce desktop)
