Description Egmont Koblinger 2016-09-25 21:40:28 UTC 
"gnome-terminal --version" could also report vte's version along with its features string.

> + g_print ("%s %s ", _("GNOME Terminal"), VERSION);

removing '\n' newline from output may make shell scripts harder to strip the version number from the output. It might be better to print the version details on separate line.

The output of the gnome-terminal command is not ABI, and you should not try to parse it. Do you have an example of someone who actually does this?
