Thanks for reporting this bug as well as linking that bug that it was
seen in with Terminator.  Their solution required code changes directly
to Terminator's code for libvte changes, so I suspect something similar
will be required for xfce4-terminal to be fixed.

I'm going to add a bug task for the source package xfce4-terminal so it
can get fixed there.

Bug description:
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

In a fresh install of Mythbuntu 10.10, running Accessories, Terminal
(xfce x-terminal emulator):

Code:

> echo $TERM
dumb
>

This results in apps that need to know what's available (top for
example) reporting "TERM environment variable not set" and halting.

Code:

> export TERM=xterm

fixes this temporarily. This was seen earlier for Terminator, bug
#621606, and fixed, but apparently not here.

Checked in Mythbuntu 10.04: $TERM is set to 'xterm'
