That did get rid of the prompt... which doesn't appear anyway in the screen of data I show.. but it didn't get rid of the actual cursor.. which is the problem. But thanks very much for the suggestion!
and I sugest you read everything included by `.bashrc' for examples of shell options.On a slightly related question.. is it possible some how to 'cover up' the lower 2 rows of the terminal with some other widget? This would get around removing the cursor, and also solve another problem I have. I have no idea if such is possible... sounds like a nasty hack to me.. but am willing to deal with ick if needs be.Widgets do not overlap unless they are toplevel. it is possible to play with toplevels and simulate the effect; but I havn't heard any success stories.
I didn't think it would be a good idea... but I am almost willing to try anything...
you might try hacking at the `vte terminal widget' itself.
eeeep.. the very idea is too scary ;)
Hope this helps,
Well.. it helped sort of.. helped me rule out a few more things..
