I hope we came to conclusion that we really should not modify output (or
program behavior) based on what the output is (that goes against GNU
Coding Guidelines).  We can only react on inputs (similarly like in my
[v3] patch).  So in that regard I am against that patch.

Terminal emulator seems to work for me, thanks.
