I don't know how this concerns others, but I often tend to use emel as
a session-manager, in the sense that I launch many of my apps from
emel, especially as root. Personally, when in need to monitor smth, I
would rather turn to emel.

As for xfce4-genmon, it uses Xfce's panel, so it's not compatible with
any terminal.
