Bug#673817: gnome-terminal: shows garbage for ncurses line-drawings

[folkert]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.4.1.1-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I'm using ncurses applications. They draw lines (e.g. for borders). Gnome-terminal fails doing so: I get garbage.
To verify where the problem is, I also ran those applications from xterm and putty: in both putty and xterm things look as they should.
An example of the garbage output is: http://keetweej.vanheusden.com/~folkert/fi-screen.png
Normally this application looks more or less like this: http://www.vanheusden.com/fi/fi.png
