Description Mariano Suárez-Alvarez 2003-07-02 00:25:31 UTC 
When vte gets an ENQ (return-terminal-status), it feeds the string "xterm"
back to the child, as per the older spec of that control sequence in
xterm's ctlseqs.txt. Right now
(http://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.3.0/doc/ctlseqs.TXT) xterms return an
empty string on ENQs. 

This is a user visible thing, because ENQs can be fed into the terminal by
cat'ing binary files and such, and then the return string just pops out of
nowhere. See bug #114334.

The following trivial patch updates vte's behavious on ENQs to match
current xterm's.

Adding PATCH keyword, setting priority->high because of the patch, and
adding GNOMEVER2.2 keyword.  Note that bug 114334 was the original
filing of this report and contains a little more description about it.
