You might also try removing the mate terminal and setting gnome -terminal as the default. I don't know how to remove mate terminal or how to set gnome -terminal as default. That is a rephrasing of my original question. ;-) Well, uninstall the mate-terminal package, set up gnome-terminal as the default x-terminal with the Debian alternatives system. Some Googling suggests MATE will try to launch mate-terminal then fallback to x-terminal-emulator (from alternatives). -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 6FAB5CD5 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Mate terminal is a fork of GNOME 2's gnome-terminal; the gnome-terminal package in Debian jessie is GNOME *3*'s gnome-terminal. But yes, any failure-to-repaint sounds like a pretty clear-cut bug in *something*, though it might not be in the expected place. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

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.
