RHBA-2011:1204 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated vte package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

VTE is a terminal emulator widget for use with GTK+ 2.0.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, setting a cursor color was not working properly in that a terminal

(text) cursor was invisible in some applications which used vte. With this
update, the bug has been fixed so that the cursor is now rendered properly and
is visible as expected. (BZ#658774)

All vte users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this
bug.
