The following variables are set by GNOME Terminal:
TERM
This variable is set to "xterm" by default. Some curses implementations and applications based on curses might want the value to be xterm-color, color-xterm or xterm-debian to support colour. You might need to change this setting if your application does not display in colour to one of those values. This can now be set via the --termname command line option.
COLORTERM
This variable is set to "gnome-terminal". Various applications (especially the Slang-based applications) use this setting to determine whether the terminal supports colour.
WINDOWID
This variable contains the X11 Window identifier. This is used sometimes by applications to modify the contents of this window or provide special effects.
