1 Hello.
2
3 I noticed that after the last upgrade to gnome-terminal, my TERM
4 variable is set to 'gnome'. The way it is, it causes all kind of
5 trouble, when, for example, I ssh into another machine and get my TERM
6 set to gnome too. Things then don't work correctly, vim doesn't
7 highlight colors, arrow keys don't work, etc.
8 I think that's because the remote machines do not understand this kind
9 of terminal, and so fall back to 'dumb' or something like that.
10 What's the problem with leaving TERM=xterm when under gnome-terminal?
11 Isn't this a fine standard for all X terminals? Is there a
12 gnome-terminal configuration somewhere that lets me set the TERM that
13 I want? I'll have a look at gconf.
14
15 Well, that's it.
