Signals
The default signal is "child-exited", emitted when the terminal detects that the child has exited.
The "file-changed" signal is emitted if file-monitor is true and the input file being monitored has changed.
The following signals are connected-up for all widgets:
button-press-event, button-release-event, configure-event, enter-notify-event, leave-notify-event, focus-in-event, focus-out-event, hide, show, key-press-event, key-release-event, map-event, unmap-event

The following functions can be performed upon this widget by any widget capable of emitting signals:
Type | Description | Parameter | Since |
enable | Reactivate timer | Shell variable name | |

show | Show widget | Shell variable name | |
hide | Hide widget | Shell variable name | |
grabfocus | Grab input focus | Shell variable name | |
refresh | Reload input data | Shell variable name | |
clear | Reset terminal and re-execute command | Shell variable name | |
The following general functions can be performed by any widget capable of emitting signals:
Type | Description | Parameter | Since |
command | Execute command | Shell command | |
exit | Exit dialog | A value for the EXIT shell variable | |
closewindow | Close dialog | Shell variable name | |
launch | Launch dialog | Shell variable name | |

Notes
1. There exists an equivalently named "background-tint-color" VTE property but it doesn't accept strings so it's converted by Gtkdialog.
This is a non-mandatory widget that requires libvte support be built into Gtkdialog at compile time.
This widget was introduced in version 0.8.1.
