I worked on that though you keep ignoring my patches, actually MGT is a good terminal emulator apart from utf8 support, i.e. internazionalization but it's not a big work to fix that I think, by now I sent you guys my patches long ago. About zvt maintaining: is not Jacob Berkman actual zvt widget maintainer? He answered to my posts to Gnome ML and I thought he was the zvt maintainer... so a maintainer exists, am I wrong? > > VTE has a clean design and fixing it is going to be a matter of > one-line segfault cleanups and portability issues; easy stuff to get > stabilized in the 2.2 timeframe.
