Autolaunch interferes with tramp mode in emacs

[Iain Lane]

Tramp mode is an emacs mode to edit remote files transparently. When I try to use it on machine which has byobu installed and set up to autolaunch, it errors out ("Clear screen capability required").

There's an easy solution. Make the ~/.*profile launching code look like this:

  if [ "$TERM" != "dumb" ];
   case "$-" in *i*) byobu-launcher && exit 0; esac;
  fi

...so that when tramp connects with a dumb term type it isn't disturbed by a screen session.

Cheers.

Well, I don't want the line in .profile to get any more complicated (as I have code that adds, and removes it).

The logic could go in byobu-launcher though, and should have the same effect, i think.
