It was easier to look in /var/log/dpkg.log, grepping for just vte and
xfce4-terminal I got:

lasagne# egrep 'vte|xfce.*terminal' /var/log/dpkg.log

lasagne# 

04/05/2008 was the orginal installation, which did not have the problem.
22/05/2008 was the upgrade, after which I had the problem.

Note that xfce-terminal was not in the upgrade (so it hadn't
changed between 04/05 and 22/05).

Let me know if you need more info. I can post/email the whole
of the log if needed, but it's 1.6MB, or tell me what to grep
for ... whatever suits you best.
