Terminals supporting text wrap?

Anyone know of linux terminals the support text wrap? I've been using the Apple's OS X terminal for a few years now and gotten quite used to having the text wrap. A resize to full screen redraws the text using the new larger size window, very handy when commands output long lines. Single thing I miss the most when I go back to using a linux desktop.

GNOME Terminal since 3.12 does it:

It's implemented in VTE, so any VTE-using terminal should be able to do it.

Thanks for the pointer. A little poking around through debian dependencies and it looks like sakura is the terminal with the fewest dependencies that depends on libvte, and it seems to wrap out of the box. I'll play with that for a while.
