As others have said, XFCE is a desktop.

Its terminal is in the xfce4-terminal package in Fedora distros, so may
be worth a look as it works quite well though its quite basic: its only
real extension (which I never use) is that it can have multiple tabs in
its window. This adds an extra tab menu bar to the window for switching
between tabe, each of which occupies the whole window.

I have no idea what other support packages it would drag in since I just
install a Fedora XFCE spin which includes everything the desktop and
terminal need.
