By lowering the thread[0]'s stack size, I got this working on FreeBSD, so I drop my previous contention.

Designed to replace libzvt. This is a cool widget. Some of our users have asked how to make the gnome-terminal like the OS X terminal. vte does it by anti-aliasing the terminal widget itself. > > UNLIKELY: > > - acme: Daemon and configuration utility for 'special' keys on modern > multimedia keyboards and notebooks.
