  Terminator 0.8 released

  This is a bugfix and feature and infrastructure release. It should be a lot better than 0.7 in less focussed ways - e.g. icons, menu integration, better gconf support. As usual hit up the Terminator home page for more.

  Esoteric command line argument parsing in python

  Terminator will soon appear in GNOME’s Preferred Applications preferences if you have it installed and as such I figure we need to support -x in the same way gnome-terminal does. What that basically means is that *anything* which occurs after -x on the command line is the command to execute and its arguments, so: terminator -x screen -U should cause terminator to execute screen -U. By default, most options parsers will see this as the -U being passed to terminator and screen being the argument to -x. After looking around the docs and asking on #python, optparse seemed to be a better option than getopts, so I switched it over and implemented a callback to extend the default argument processing for -x. It wasn’t quite working, so after another quick foray into #python I ended up reading this page which provided everything I needed. More than I needed, in fact, since their while loop has conditionals which affect whether or not the next arguments are added. I just want to gobble them all up and stop them from being parsed :)
