I've just switched from Linux to a new iMac, running Tiger
and Apple's
X11, and am tryiing to resurrect various aspects of my
environment. I've
got gnome-terminal installed and running from the unstable
branch, but
there are a few annoying problems:
1) Accented characters don't work properly. They don't work
properly in
Terminal.app either, but it's much worse in gnome-terminal.
I use a
Belgian layout, which has both directly-accessible accented
characters
(e.g. e acute) and dead keys (e.g. tilda). Most of the
accents and dead
keys do nothing at all, but the tilda dead key seems to do
completion for
some odd reason. I get the following error on the Terminal
from which I
started gnome-terminal fo reach character:
** (gnome-terminal:12590): WARNING **: Error (Illegal byte
sequence) converting data for child, dropping.
The fink emacs distro running in an X window can handle the
accents just
fine. Running in gnome-terminal it can't. I would be
willing to install
a new keyboard layout with xmodmap (it's tied to Apple's
layout right
now), or to install a different X distro if necessary, but I
would prefer
not to.
2) When I run fink's emacs inside gnome-terminal, the
[39;49m escape
sequences is showing up in the buffer rather than being
interpreted. The
other color escape sequences seem to work fine. In
Terminal.app there is
no problem. Concretely, you see things like this (except
"test" is in blue):
test[39;49m -r /sw/bin/init.sh && . /sw/bin/init.sh
3) Mouse scrolling doesn't seem to work right for the
scrollback buffer.
It does nothing for a while, then it suddenly scrolls back a
lot. This is
minor, since the scrollbar works fine.
Any help on any of these things would be greatly
appreciated.

p.s. I compiled all fink packages from source.
