Yeah, there could be some need for a urxvt.
Lightweight fast unicode friendly terminal which is highly configurable.

http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/rxvt-unicode.html
File download server didnt answer, might be a cvs jobs...

Thanks in advance

you can install it from slackbuilds.org
there's rxvt-unicode and it optional dep libAfterimage

but I agree that a package in the repo could be most useful, as I like to use it for my minimal setups, besides it supports 256 colors!

Any advantages over e.g. Sakura?

it supports 256 colors whereas other terminals only support 16 colors
it can be ran as a daemon(server of terminals), and any instance of a terminal is treated as a client so if you have a lot of terminals open you use less resources
it has antialiased font and transparency support indenpendent of WM/DE
it can be extenden with perl scripst, but I have never done that because I don't know perl

besides the color support and the light footprint that's it, because sakura has utf-8 support as well.
and urxvt has to be edited via the .Xresources/.Xdefaults file and that could be a turn off to some people, but it's a great lightweight terminal

as a side note it appears that it is the terminal of choice of people who use minimal(istic) environments

Duncan was faster.
Hope the facts was interesting enough

I have added it to the repos, along with libAfterImage. But to be honest, I don't see what the fuss is all about.
