That is a rephrasing of my original question. ;-) > > Anyway, I thought the mate terminal was just a fork of the gnome one, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ me too. > so if it can't repaint it's probably a bug. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ well maybe there is some F-key magic that I don't know about... The repaint of text that I want is done by Bash and is already specified in my $HOME/.bashrc AND it works correctly in an Xfce4 boot. My current setup is: Jessie, and both MATE and Xfce4 tasks are installed. I select one or the other at boot-up. The real Gnome-terminal is installed and works properly when I run Xfce4. But I don't actually know which version of Gnome the terminal comes from. Aptitude points to Jessie with no pinning or other fancy stuff. I can get Gnome-terminal/Bash repaint if I open Gnome-terminal inside the Mate-terminal window. But that is not a solution, that is data collection for filing a bug report.
