Where does gnome-terminal pick up settings that differ from the console?
For example, 'locale' on the console shows everything as 'en_US' but in
gnome-terminal it shows as 'english'.
But my main problem is that accented characters aren't handled properly
in gnome-terminal but they are in the console. 'less' just truncates the
accented character and whatever follows. 'vim' gets so totally confused
that I can't edit anything in French in gnome-terminal.
Also, in trying to solve the problem, I changed the font and now I can't
get back to whatever font was used by default.
This behavior changed at a recent upgrade. I didn't use to have the
problem.
running debian linux:
ii gnome-terminal 1.4.0.6-5
