There are two patches in gnome bugzilla, both are memory usage improvement. One of it reduce memory footprint for each new terminal, another patch is a one time saving patching. You can find detail in here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160993 Note, the patch can't cleanly apply on 0.11.11, so I just left it out. For patch 1, 0.11.13 has included it already Altogether, I apply both patch against 0.11.12 but only use patch2 for 0.11.13 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Added the second patch to vte-0.11.13-r1. I'm not sure if we should patch 0.11.12, since the ebuild for vte-0.11.13-r1 would have the same priority as an ebuild for vte-0.11.12-r1 to become stable in the future, so there isn't much to gain from it. Thanks for the report.
