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.

in my testing of 0.92ppa1 (installed from the ppa), it seems to be working well for me.
