launchpad.net is the ubuntu bug tracking system not the GNOME one. Here's the VTE patch: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=321490#c3 If the developer says that the patch is taking the wrong approach then I doubt anything on earth will convince him to include it. You probably need to talk to him and see why is that the wrong approach.
