+- Upstream VTE indicates [1] [2] [3] that VteTerminal is incompatible with
+ GtkScrolledWindow. weltschmerz has been using the latter since its launch,
+ but has yet to run into any problem with it. Depending on how GTK/VTE will
+ handle outstanding issues [4] [5], we might have to take action in the
+ future. Bug reports or comments regarding this are appreciated.
+
+ Note: A cursory check revealed that at least one other VTE-based emulator,
+ terminator, seems to be using GtkScrolledWindow as well. According to [2], an
+ implementation for gnome-terminal is planned too, but work seems to have
+ stalled.
