Bug Description
Lucid currently has Terminator 0.14 in Universe. This release is based on a moribund code branch - upstream (i.e. me) has moved on to a vastly restructured and refactored branch which has allowed us to provide the most requested features:
* full GUI preferences editor that writes config files (0.14 can just read them and edit the running instance)
* multiple profiles can be created/edited in the preferences GUI
* multiple layouts can be created/modified in the preferences GUI
I would very much like to cease support for the 0.14 branch and not have it in use for another 3 years. Our initial release from the newer branch was 0.90 and subsequently 0.91 and 0.92 have addressed all currently reported regressions. I happily commit to fixing any further regressions that are found, both before Lucid releases and afterwards via SRUs.
I'm going to skip the suggested FFE step of attaching a diff - almost every line of the code has been refactored since 0.14, so the diff is in the order of 50,000 lines.

I must concur that the old-n-busted dead code should be dead and gone, rather than having every bug against it answered with "use the PPA version". That way does not lie happiness.
