[Bug 91964] Use the tty+libvte instead of a graphics pipe for terminals

--- Comment #3 from Alberto Ruiz <aruiz at gnome.org> ---
I mean the latter. I didn't know this was possible.

Basically, a libvte widget would allow reflowing of the terminal text on resize
which is not possible through a graphical terminal that is bound to the
resolution of the graphical output. So I see some inherent UX benefits here
beyond tty data being faster to transfer than graphics. I'm happy to learn that
the graphics are going to get faster for terminals.

Can you give me some pointers so that I can see if I can come up with a
prototype?
