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: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mathieu-tl/vte/lp621927/revision/78
