Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.14.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Gnome-terminal incorrectly claims to be xterm-compatible in it's $TERM.
This should instead be set to gnome, which is the proper termcap entry
for gnome-terminal. The attached patch fixes the hard-coded TERM entry
in gnome-terminal's source.
