Bug#751588: Setting TERM=terminator messes up console
The correct setting for TERM is xterm (or rather xterm-256color). This variable is supposed to refer to a terminal behavior description, not to the name of the executable that is a terminal emulator. Terminator uses the VTE widget for actual terminal emulation, which in turn tries to emulate xterm as closely as reasonable. VTE defaults to xterm-256color nowadays (used to be xterm up until about a year ago), and so does gnome-terminal (the "reference" frontend developed together with VTE). If kupfer (whatever that is) requires the terminal emulator's executable name to be specified in $TERM then it's a bug (a fundamental misunderstanding of this variable) in kupfer and should be fixed there.
Bug#751588: Setting TERM=terminator messes up console
Package: terminator Version: 0.95-1 when i set TERM=terminator in my .bashrc, so that kupfer opens mc in terminator instead of xterm, the text mode console get it's colors and fonts messed up, well noticed in colored programs like mc or cmatrix... if i comment the line and re-login every thing goes back to normal... this only happens in tty consoles but not in terminator it self. I am using Debian GNU/Linux Wheezy, last upgraded yesterday.
