I worked on that though you keep ignoring my patches, 
actually MGT is a good terminal emulator apart from 
utf8 support, i.e. internazionalization but it's not 
a big work to fix that I think, by now I sent you guys my patches long
ago.
About zvt maintaining: is not Jacob Berkman actual zvt widget
maintainer? He answered to my posts to Gnome ML 
and I thought he was the zvt maintainer...
so a maintainer exists, am I wrong?

I have partially done this but I guess you hadn't look
at my work :(
