This is the MATE terminal emulator application. mate-terminal is only the shell (menubar, prefs dialog); the terminal emulation ("stuff in the middle") comes from the VTE widget. Remember this when you report a bug. ;-)

MATE terminal is a fork of GNOME terminal.

How it works

Profiles - all settings are stored in profiles. prefs dialog edits the current profile

Session - just the number of open windows/tabs and their profile is stored per-session

Command line options - do not overlap things that are preferences

== Install ==

In order to build this program from the source code you need git installed and a working MATE environment, with the development tools installed properly.

Example: git submodule init git submodule update --remote --recursive ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
--disable-static --localstatedir=/var --with-gnu-ld make sudo make install
