First of all, it is very nice and it improves the experience a lot :-). But when trying the latest mainline (1725) I encountered a weird problem: sometimes the window title bar is not redrawn when the window loses focus. Screenshot is attached. What is odd about this is that I was able to demonstrate this only when running in QEMU without KVM with amd64 profile. With KVM, it runs smoothly; on ia32 it is okay both with and without KVM. Steps to reproduce (everything is done using mouse in the GUI): 1) Start default amd64 build without KVM. 2) Move the vterm to the middle of the screen 3) Click vterm on the vlaunch menu Now, both vterm windows looks as if they have a focus, moving cursor above the inactive one redraws the title bar a bit. Swiching to kconsole and back fixes the colours. Are you able to reproduce this? I tried this on 64bit Linux 3.6, QEMU kvm-1.2.0.
