Eterm
Eterm is a vt102 terminal emulator intended as a replacement for xterm. It is designed with a Freedom of Choice philosophy, leaving as much power, flexibility, and freedom as possible in the hands of the user. It is designed to look good and work well, but takes a feature-rich approach rather than one of minimalism. Current features include color support, background images (all Imlib-supported formats), theme support, and pseudo-transparency.

Recent releases
- 22 Aug 2006 14:06
Changes: This release contains primarily bugfixes, particularly for dead keys, but has a few new features thrown in as well, like support for a "beep command" to replace the PC speaker beep, EWMH/xcompmgr window opacity support, 256-color support, and NetWM startup ID support.
- 14 Dec 2004 14:35
Changes: Various fixes for 64-bit systems, escape sequence handling, XIM error handling, improved EWMH compatibility, and a workaround for UTF-8 locales.
- 31 Oct 2002 14:03
Changes: This is primarily a bugfix release. However, one new feature in particular was added. Escreen provides a unique interface between Eterm and GNU screen, facilitating multiple sessions in a single Eterm window.
- 29 Aug 2001 12:01
Changes: This release replaces both the former "stable" (0.8.x) and "development" (0.9) releases. There are many new features, and lots of bugfixes. If you use Eterm at all, this release is highly recommended.
- 30 Jan 2001 06:12
Changes: The first release of Eterm's current developer's tree; it has proven quite stable but contains drastic changes over the 0.8.x series. If you choose to upgrade to this release, you will need to remove all traces of your old 0.8.x installation before doing so. Changes include graphical scrollbars and popup menus, a new theme system, 3-state images as widgets, arbitrary key/mouse bindings, Enlightenment IPC and automatic theme synchronization support, and lots more.

Run Eterm with the debug option and check the log. Chances are its failing to to load the jpgs.
If so this could be down to imlib2 and/or libast not building correctly. Or Imlib2 is missing the loaders. If you installed Imlib2 with rpm then you need the seperate Imlib2-loaders rpm.
If you built from src check the Imlib2 and libast configure scripts to make sure they found the jpeg librarys.
good luck.
Eterm compiled ok, but no pixmap loaded
Ok, I managed to compile it correctly. I start Enlightenment (0.16.5), and then open Eterm: no background image is displayed. Even forcing in the pixmap menu a scaled or tiled image, the background is black. I checked under usr/local/share/Eterm/pix but everything (config. file, images...) seems ok.
Configure do not report strange messages (initially Imlib2 was missing, but now I've built it and configure does not complain any more).
I'm looking on the net, but I can't find anyone who is reporting the same problem... what could be wrong?
Problem compiling
Ok, some brief history: This is being installed on an
OpenBSD-3.0-current system. After installing the Imlib
and libast libraries I had to move them from
/usr/local/lib to /usr/lib (even after re-running ldconfig
specifying directories) to get them to work. Strange.
Now I can successfully run configure, however after
running make it stops with this:
creating libEterm.la
(cd .libs && rm -f libEterm.la && ln -s ../libEterm.la
libEterm.la)
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -L/usr/local/lib

Any ideas??

Run ldconfig, remove config.cache, and try again.
Can't compile correctly
After initially trying to compile Eterm I recevied numerous messages about missing libraries. I installed all of the missing enlightenment libs including Imlib2. Eterm compiles but still complains that Imlib2 is missing. Is there a trick to get Imlib2 working with Eterm ? The config message from Eterm is:
configure: warning: *** Pixmap support has been disabled because Imlib2 was not found ***
configure: warning: *** or could not be linked. Eterm should still work
configure: warning: *** not be very happy. Check config.log for more detailed ***
configure: warning: *** information on why my attempt to link with Imlib2 failed. ***
