See this bug report for a description of the problem: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117945 This affects the vte/gnome-terminal in Fedora Core 2.
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
Closing due to lack of activity. Please open a new bug if this is still an issue at bugzilla.gnome.org.
