[Bug 204202] Re: gnome-terminal ignores current keyboard layout for ctrl+key shortcuts

 

Bug #487604 says that the bug doesn't come from gnome-terminal but from
GTK+2 and states that this bug entry is erroneous. Yet Ctrl+[key]
mappings work as expected in most GTK+2 applications. This bug seems to
come from VTE instead, as in bug #307888

I made some tests with several applications other than gnome-terminal :
 - uxterm: when switching keyboard layout, Ctrl+[key] mappings are correct, they follow the current layout. Is not using VTE
 - konsole: same as uxterm, correct behavior. Is not using VTE.
 - xfce4-terminal: incorrect behavior, same as gnome-terminal. Is using VTE.
 - lxterminal : incorrect behavior, same as gnome-terminal and xfce4-terminal. Is using VTE.

So we can see that the problem relates to libvte instead of gnome-
terminal, as it is present in all applications using libvte.
