Doh! you're right.  For some reason I had ruled that out because the
person who asked me claimed it wasn't sufficient.  What I didn't
realize was that the 'reset' he was referring to was a menu item
within Gnome Term (something he also neglected to tell me :)

When he said reset, I thought he was talking about the command line utility.

Thanks Mike!
