gnome-terminal and xterm conventions

I have to say gnome-terminal is really really good, only terminal that comes close to xterm and the UTF-8 handling is really good, thanks to GtkTextWidget (I guess). However, that damn widget is also it's biggest problem - the GNOME people refuse to change the behaviour for right-clicks to take standard xterm convention into account, so instead of right-click behaving as $DIETY intended and changing the end-of-selection point, it brings up a damn GTK cut/copy/paste context menu.

Also, changing gnome-terminal key mappings is completely non-obvious, indeed I havnt found a way yet. Though thankfully most of the default key-bindings are unobtrusive, however I havnt found how to reconfigure them (Sun ship gnome-terminal with pageup/pagedown bound to scroll up/down, no obvious way to change it).

If it werent for those things, the right-click issue in particular, i'd switch from xterm to gnome-terminal.
