I would say *terrifying* work around ;-) Otherwise, good tip. But to me, the point is that the bug is an annoyance for all systems I touch. Of course, this ^O thing (or similar) is part of my own process, so not everybody is concerned, but every time I come to a new system, I get it, I have to patch it (or work around it), when it would be much simpler to get it fixed in the repo.
Now, I still agree that your proposal about fixing the bug where it belongs (i.e. migrate GT to use the new VTE) is the best. But honestly, I had a quick look, and although I have some dev skills, this is much beyond me for now. Too many kids at home, not enough time. Also, I'm not sure that even if GT would be migrated to VTE 3, that it would be pushed to 14.04. The easiest for me would be to get the patch above pushed into VTE 2 in the repo. You say that VTE 2 is unmaintained. But is there any chance still we can get the patch pushed to the report? What is the process to get this done?
