Dear Thomas,
ok about MGT terminal emulator
you was right, 1.x tests of vttest didn't work, 
in fact initially I fixed 1.x and afterwards 
I fixed all other ones, but fixing 
latter ones I made former ones appear again :-/.
Anyway now I fixed all them in MGT 1.5.0Beta9 and I also implemented
support for xterm mouse tracking, 
so that for example vim
works fine with MGT and I fixed also an annoying bug
related to word selection outlined by 
M. G. Berberich (though unfortunately his patches, you can find at
http://www.forwiss.uni-passau.de/~berberic/Linux/gnome-terminal.html
don't completely solve the problem :-/).
Then to conclude please check what I'm asserting
(get 1.5.0Beta9 which is on MGT site 
http://multignometerm.sf.net ) and, 
if all works fine of course, please update
your MGT review, 

				   thanks Cristiano
 
P.S.
Wide chars and printer support are still missing in MGT,
I know :), hope to have time to work on them soon.
