Terminator 0.12 "I hear voices"

Bug Description

the --profile or -p command line option not working at all in my two Ubuntu 8.10 installations. It still uses the default profile. No error messages observed. Both 0.11 (apt-get from ubuntu repo) and latest from bzr are the same.

8.04 seems to be no problem. Guess something changed in 8.10.

I found out that gnome-terminal in ubuntu 8.10 changed to use dummy names (Profile0/1 etc) as gconf key (rather than using the profile name itself). What terminator have to do is to match the visible_name string under the profile keys.

Attached a patch to fix.

Thanks very much for the patch!
It's an upstream change in GNOME Terminal and the way it handles its profiles. I have committed the patch to trunk.

Maxim: 0.12 should be released within the next few weeks and will include the fix for this.
