Description Aron Parsons 2010-09-28 23:41:55 UTC

Description of problem:
Shells run in Guake have their terminal type set to dumb (environment variable TERM=dumb).  Running xterm or gnome-terminal has the correct TERM environment variable set).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
guake-0.4.2-2.fc14.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set guake as a startup application in GNOME
2. open a new shell in Guake
3. echo $TERM
  
Actual results:
dumb

Expected results:
xterm

Additional info:
I have Guake set to automatically start in GNOME.  If I kill that instance and start Guake from gnome-terminal, the TERM variable is set correctly.  So maybe this is an issue with GNOME and not necessarily Guake?

It appears to be a VTE bug cf: http://guake.org/ticket/249#comment:10

I am therefore reassigning this bug to VTE.
According to qense on the Guake bug tracker there is a patch available at:

This looks like a dup of 639280
