GTK itself causes problems, because, it's not ported, thus not

It's certainly not available on Haiku at least.
There is no perfect solution here. I think GTK is the best that's out
there.
Well as long as it's not mandatory...
By using GTK, we can leverage VteTerminal for screen reader
integration and font
configuration. We can also use GTK's accelerator support to make
accelerators
configurable (Gnome provides a global accelerator configuration
interface).
Hmm the thing using libvte that uses /tmp to insecurely store terminal
backlogs ? ;-)
Yeah, I saw it on a blog, it must be true!
Well it is true, just fill up your /tmp and see the backlog stop working
in gnome-terminal. I did it unintentionally the other day... :P
The issue is viewing '/tmp' as "insecure". Per-user TMPDIR has existed almost
for a decade now. Moreover, /tmp files can be created safely using the
appropriate syscalls (which VTE uses).
If you're worried about securing your data and are surprised by the fact that
/tmp isn't encrypted, you should be using full disk encryption because /tmp
isn't the only place that needs to be worried about.
