No, Dennis B., you do not need to recompile your kernel to make this work, but you do need to download and unpack the original 0.2.8 terminal source into your home directory:
$ cd ~ $ wget http://www.ca-us.xfce.org/archive/xfce-4.4.2/src/Terminal-0.2.8.tar.bz2 $ bunzip Terminal-0.2.8.tar.bz2 $ tar xvf Terminal-0.2.8.tar Then apply the patch: $ patch -p0 < Terminal-0.2.8-patch2 Change to the top level source directory, config & make: $ cd Terminal-0.2.8 $ ./configure $ make If you get errors in any of the above steps, you are probably missing some packages & libraries you need. Do "sudo apt-get install" for each missing package (or use synaptic). I know you will need at least build- essential. If you get an error during "make", you probably need to install the package "gettext". Once you get a good build: $ cd terminal $ ./terminal You should have a clean terminal running now. Notice that you are running a local (not system wide) copy. Nobody answered my question yet about how to make this change system wide without compromising package management. -- xfce4-terminal window borders / decorations / widgets being incorrectly drawn (xubuntu 8.04) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194769 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
