I've just switched from Linux to a new iMac, running Tiger and Apple's X11, and am tryiing to resurrect various aspects of my environment. I've got gnome-terminal installed and running from the unstable branch, but there are a few annoying problems:
1) Accented characters don't work properly. They don't work properly in Terminal.app either, but it's much worse in gnome-terminal. I use a Belgian layout, which has both directly-accessible accented characters (e.g. e acute) and dead keys (e.g. tilda). Most of the accents and dead keys do nothing at all, but the tilda dead key seems to do completion for some odd reason. I get the following error on the Terminal from which I started gnome-terminal fo reach character: ** (gnome-terminal:12590): WARNING **: Error (Illegal byte sequence) converting data for child, dropping. The fink emacs distro running in an X window can handle the accents just fine. Running in gnome-terminal it can't. I would be willing to install a new keyboard layout with xmodmap (it's tied to Apple's layout right now), or to install a different X distro if necessary, but I would prefer not to. 2) When I run fink's emacs inside gnome-terminal, the [39;49m escape sequences is showing up in the buffer rather than being interpreted. The other color escape sequences seem to work fine. In Terminal.app there is no problem. Concretely, you see things like this (except "test" is in blue): test[39;49m -r /sw/bin/init.sh && . /sw/bin/init.sh 3) Mouse scrolling doesn't seem to work right for the scrollback buffer. It does nothing for a while, then it suddenly scrolls back a lot. This is minor, since the scrollbar works fine. Any help on any of these things would be greatly appreciated. Benedict p.s. I compiled all fink packages from source. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
