This is something confusing me?
Why ZvtTerminal when using the vte widget instead of the zvt widget?
should this not be VteTerminal *term; ?

Can anyone tell me how to get a gui created in glade-2 to pass along

i believe you are wright . I am trying to code with this widget and the
code i came to is this (don't know if there is something wrong but it
compiles good and gives the effect i want.)

GtkWidget *term;
term=vte_terminal_new();
       
vte_terminal_fork_command(VTE_TERMINAL(term),("/usr/bin/octave"),NULL,
NULL);
                vte_terminal_set_cursor_blinks(VTE_TERMINAL(term),TRUE);
                vte_terminal_set_scroll_on_output(VTE_TERMINAL(term),TRUE);
                vte_terminal_set_scroll_on_keystroke(VTE_TERMINAL(term),TRUE);
                vte_terminal_set_scrollback_lines(VTE_TERMINAL(term),50);
                vte_terminal_set_emulation(VTE_TERMINAL(term),"xterm");


sorry but mi English is not very good and i didn't understand the last
question. Can you explain?


Thanks all
