I guess that there is not "portable" way to check the version of the
libvte used by gnome-terminal on runtime, because ldd can only giver
you the .so version.

But we could check was version was originally linked with:

echo "vte version: @VTE_VERSION@"

then you can install report-vte-version.sh script that will have vte
version hardcoded from compilation time, and add it to
X-GNOME-Bugzilla-ExtraInfoScript.
