Bug#968290: please update to 3.37.90 upstream (SIXEL support added)

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.36.2-1
Severity: wishlist

There are some really cool apps which make use of SIXEL.  Some terminals (e.g.
xterm) already have support for it.  gnome-terminal only (very recently!
apparently) recently added support for it in 3.37.90.

		profile: Add pref to enable SIXEL

		When VTE was built with SIXEL support, show a checkbox in
		the compatibility prefs to enable it.

It would be really cool if stock (could go to experimental I guess if some
concerns over stability etc) gnome-terminal in Debian gained sixel
support as well.

thank you very much in advance!
