And considering that xfce4-terminal is gtk2, it means no fix for it. :-(

The workaround mentioned in that Arch forum is not complete solution for
me 'cause I launch Terminal via i3's shortcut and not from the menu and
in i3's config there are settings like:

# start a terminal
#bindsym $mod+Return exec i3-sensible-terminal
bindsym $mod+Return exec /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal

so having adequate *.desktop file does not help here.

Fortunately, now I'm taking advantage of xfce's session which restores
xfce-terminal with one tab having TERM set to xterm-256color. :-)


Sincerely,
