Description Seth D. Alford 2011-07-31 05:38:49 UTC

Description of problem:  Since Fedora included Gnome3, I converted to using Xfce.  Xfce has most of what I need and feels like Gnome2.  One thing that is missing is a working terminal emulator that allows me to customize individual instances.  Customizing Xfce's Terminal results in customizing all instances of Xfce's Terminal.  I'd like different colors or backgrounds on each, please.  Yes, I know that gnome-terminal provides that, but gnome-terminal doesn't work right under Xfce.  See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=670173


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Terminal-0.4.8-1.fc15.x86_64


How reproducible: every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. start two instances of Terminal under Xfce
2. Tell one to display different colors or background
3. Notice how the other also displays the same colors and backgrounds
  
Actual results:
Changing one instance of Terminal changes all of them.

Expected results:
I'd like to be able to change each instance, one at a time.  So one window is blue with white letters, another is black with green letters, and so on.

Additional info: I submitted a bug to Xfce on this, too.  See 
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2266

Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2011-07-31 15:38:15 UTC

Yeah, the correct place for this kind of work is upstream. ;) 

We can leave this open tied to the upstream report, or close it and concentrate on the upstream bug (since once they land anything we will get it too... ;)

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 19:54:59 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
