Problem in gnome terminal description

[Alain Williams]

Hi,

the entry for gnome appears to be wrong. The two entries and values:

        rmso=\E[m,
        rmul=\E[m,

the correct values should be (as per xterm):

        rmso=\E[27m,
        rmul=\E[24m,

The effect of this is that when using TERM=gnome that unsetting one of standout 
or
underline also unsets the other (and likely as well as other terminal 
parameters).

If I run the application with TERM=xterm it works properly, but with TERM=gnome
then bold/underline gets switched off when it should not.

This is certainly so in ncurses-6.0 and I believe in the current development 
version.

I tracked down where these sequences come from xterm-r6 via a long chain:

gnome vte-2012 vte-2008 vte-2007 gnome-fc5 gnome-rh90 gnome-rh80 gnome-rh72 
xterm-color xterm-r6

I have no idea if this is a problem for any of the other terminals between gnome
& xterm-r6.

Why use TERM=gnome ? ... sigh, if I want F13 (Shift-F1), etc, I cannot use xterm
since Gnome terminal generates a different sequence :-(

Thanks for reading
