Description Astara 2013-06-04 01:14:50 CEST
I had  a script to launch a manpage that was complicated by a need to silence Terminal's background noise (I'll file another bug on that one).

geom="80x80+1800-154"
args="--hide-menubar --hide-toolbars --geometry $geom "
Terminal --disable-server $args -x man "${@}"  </dev/null >& /dev/null &

The above worked in the last version -- I know the name was mangled to a "easy-to-remember and type"[sic] "xfce4-terminal" (I'm guessing you didn't like having to do it either...whatever).. I just put a symlink from Terminal->xfce-terminal in /usr/bin, and thought I was set.

nope... who changed the --hide-toolsbars to --hide-toolbar ???.... 
Why didn't you keep both?  took me a while to figure this out as output was
turned off in the launch window due to all the garbage that comes out about being able to contact or not contact a server version...

(I did say this was trivial... but next time,remember some of us          put your stuff in side of scripts and don't see the error messages due to all the noise)...

Well I did that for consistence and not planning to keep both since this is not an often used argument.
