Re: Terminator 0.90-beta1

Hit the wrong email with this..

I wanted to add a few other things...

If I open a file with vim most of the text color is black. It's not
listening to the foreground color. That makes it pretty hard to read
things. :P It seems to only not be on every file. But I'm trying to
work with the .bashrc file and it's definitely having issues there. Use
cat and the text spits out fine.

I also noticed that the Delete key acts like its bound to the Backspace
key.

And the last thing for the night - I'll revert to 0.14 after this - is
that the title shouldn't show up unless there are two windows.

Anyway - considering it's the first alpha I'd say I'm pretty impressed.
