"gnome-terminal" is NOT an xterm. It is an extremely dumbed-down

Any reasonable xterm-like tool in the Xwindows
world has VT100
support.
Close, certainly, but not necessarily close enough... I was using a Gnome
xterm window (RedHat 9) as my "terminal" to klh10 running TOPS-20. For
most stuff, things were fine. Emacs, though, didn't render quite right.
I ended up hooking a dumb terminal up to a serial port and _that_ worked
perfectly.
