No handler for control sequence `device-control-string' defined

[Matt Zimmerman]

** (gnome-terminal:12092): WARNING **: No handler for control sequence `device-control-string' defined.

My ~/.xsession-errors is flooded with this message (over 1300 occurrences before logging was disabled). I can trigger it by entering the control sequence "<esc>P0<esc>\" into the terminal, and starting vim causes a flurry of them.

I was unable to find a matching sequence in the terminfo database. Some random VT220 documentation I found seems to indicate that this sequence is used for loading soft fonts, though that seems like a strange thing for vim to be doing, and I can't find the code in vim which is responsible for generating this sequence.

Marking bug as confirmed as per upstream bug.

I'm wondering whether http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406028 or http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107031 might be better upstream bugs...

Using gnome-terminal to open a file where there are some Chinese characters, I got .xsession-errors:

(gnome-terminal:11182): Vte-WARNING **: No handler for control sequence `device-control-string' defined.

I set LANG="en_US.UTF-8" and LC_CTYPE="zh_CN.UTF-8" in my .bashrc, and set the Character Encoding with "Current Local(UTF-8)", also set "set fileencodings=utf-8,gbk,ucs-bom,cp936" in my .vimrc. How can I resolve it? The file which was edited using vim in gnome-terminal is attached.

Disable compiz.

This happens without compiz too.
