yes, I found that option, but you know if there's a way to hide the border on terminal so I can have a terminal stick on desktop?....maybe a command line option to run the terminal at startup?

Yes.

Thanks for your reply....sorry to bother you again....but it's also possible to autostart the terminal keeping the process hidden inside the tarskbar?

Some terminals can do that but I don't think there's a universal option so you would have to make sure that the x-terminal-emulator alternative was linked to a terminal that actually supported the option (or replace 'x-terminal-emulator' with the specific terminal command).
