I don't think fixing all bugs should be a prereq to making the switch.
I still don't buy that a possible need to spend 2 days fixing
accessibility glitches outweighs working Unicode, i18n, redrawing,
font infrastructure, and terminal emulation. ;-) But as long as Marc
can test it in the near future we could just spend the 2 days and
avoid the issue. I'm fine with that.

I'm still wondering when someone is going to notice that you can't
even change the font in the libzvt gnome-terminal... surely that's an
accessibility issue too!
