The config option was removed in xfce4-terminal also. Like mentioned in
the previous comment, it is TERM=xterm-256color by default now.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: xfce4-terminal
Xubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal
xfce4-terminal 0.4.7-0ubuntu1
libvte9 0.27.90
I wish to enable 256-color support in apps running under
xfce4-terminal; but even though I've set TERM to this value in the
config (and verified it in .config/Terminal/terminalrc), the TERM
variable winds up having the value "xterm".
Upon digging a little further, xfce4-terminal correctly sets the TERM
variable in the environment vector that it then passes through to vte
via vte_terminal_command_full (this takes place within the
terminal_screen_launch_child function found in terminal/terminal-
screen.c). However, vte_terminal_fork_command_full copies everything
from that vector _except_ the TERM variable, unconditionally replacing
that with a value that should be set by calling vte_pty_set_term (this
happens in src/pty.c:__vte_pty_merge_environ(), which is called by
(and gets the TERM value from) src/pty.c:__vte_pty_spawn, which in
turn is called by src/vte.c:vte_terminal_fork_command_full() ).
xfce4-terminal doesn't appear to ever call that function anywhere, and
thus vte defaults to "xterm". So the appropriate fix would seem to be
to make xfce4-terminal call that function to register the correct TERM
value.
