Question regarding libutempter support in xfce4-terminal

[Takahiro YOSHIZAWA]

Hi Gaël,

Thank you for the quick reply.

After creating /command-update-records (boolean) and setting it to true in the xfce4-terminal channel via xfce4-settings-editor, I confirmed that sessions are now properly recorded in utmp/wtmp when running xfce4-terminal built with libutempter support.

Thanks again for your help!

Best regards,

Takahiro

But this does not affect the code in `terminal/terminal-screen.c` and `terminal/terminal-widget.c`, which has not changed. If the `/command-update-records` (boolean) option is enabled in xfconf, and xfce4-terminal was built with libutempter support, it should still work.
