I'm happy with xfce4-terminal, but I have it set up to give me tabs, and
gave it the extra config to have tabs at the bottom.

I also use unicode glyphs at the beginning of my window title strings in
my bash prompt, and they propagate to the window title.  Makes it easier
to identify which terminal window is on which host.
