Bug Description
Due to a change in vte, xfce4-terminal on ubuntu no longer updates utmp, which leaves terminal sessions invisible to basic unix commands like who, wall, and write. However, it has a build-time option to fix this problem via libutempter. It would be nice if this option was enabled on ubuntu.
Change needed in debian/control:
Build-Depends: libutempter-dev
Change needed in debian/rules:
