Terminal emulation in gnome-term is _extremely_ buggy. I tell it as
a person who spent 4 years in development of commercial quality
terminal emulation program :-)

If you'll try the vttest program, which is an excellent vt100/vt220
compatibility test, gnome-term will not pass a half of the tests.
xterm passes the most of them.
