While that's sounds harmless without the rest of Gnome, I wonder if uxterm is adequate to your needs? OK, it's only a wrapper on xterm, and xfce-terminal also seems able to display UTF8 symbols like Δ,ð,þ,π, but I encountered  uxterm first, and it still serves.

To avoid the need to remember stuff, here xterm is a shell function:

xterm ()

{

colours='-fg yellow -bg darkslategrey -cr red';

uxterm $colours -sb -rightbar -geometry 100x50+300+10 -bc +vb &

}

and it could incorporate the -u8 and "-class UXTerm" at the end of the wrapper, but all that checking and locale finessing can't hurt.

If there's more an xterm needs to do, I haven't stumbled across it yet.
