My version of Yakuake can’t do this – in my Debian Etch box Yakuake v2.7.5-4

So, you can open two terminals in one window? Am I right?

>> It’s very very usefull :)
No doubt :-)

Screen is good-old-style program, and I use it in terminal when close X. But Yakuake is much more fancy, and it allows to prevent wasting all desktop by xterms.

>> screen can be customized to hell, including keyboard
>> shortcuts, and is not limited to X
Yes, that’s right. In terminal – screen, in X 0 yakuake.

Of course, Yakuake is more eye candy, but in X it looks pretty nice, nicely that Screen ;-)

>>I can kill X without caring about the shells I run in Screen.
I primary working in X, but I don’t ignore Screen.

>> but it slides down much cooler. :D
That’s it! :-)

For me Screen is great to run several shells in an environment where I do not have to care about the graphical environment. I can kill X without caring about the shells I run in Screen. Yakuake is rather to be compared to well, a "normal" terminal emulator, but it slides down much cooler. :D Yakuake and Screen do not fulfill the same purpose so it does not make much sense to compare those.

I don't know which version you're using but with yakuake v2.8 you can split verticaly and horizontaly. It's very very usefull :) Hi,
