There are no projects using my wrapper, because its existence is not
known and I don't guarantee for now any API/ABI stability, because I
want to remove one hack. And I didn't put sources in any scm service
like sourceforge.net yet.

But try searching for Paludis source code. Maybe they have something.
I once saw they made their own partial wrapper for Vte::Terminal for
their use.
