There is a new ALPHA (testing) workaround for this bug using MLterm API, To test get the latest build of MLterm from sf.net, here are some instructions:
you will need this packages build-essential, mercurial (to pull source code), libvte-dev and libfribidi-dev Start by getting the latest build: $ hg clone http://mlterm.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/mlterm/mlterm Then building: $ cd mlterm $./configure --with-type-engines=xcore,xft --enable-fribidi $make $cd gtk/ $make ATTENTION: don't forget to backup libvte.so.9 (you might use locate to find it) before continue. Using the library from our build and linking, $ cp mlterm/gtk/.libs/libvte.so.9.0.0 [where official libvte is installed] $ ln -sf libvte.so.9.0.0 [where official libvte is installed]/libvte.so.9 http://mlterm.sf.net/gnome-terminal.JPG Known issues: * Gnome-terminal dose not start with compiz enabled * Synaptic crashes when it should display terminal output Please test ,report and help patching if possible.
