Hi Jason-

Thanks for the patch.

I'm not sure I quite understand it, yet...

See the attached screenshot. This is byobu, on karmic, running in gnome-terminal. Running the perl script, it certainly looks to me like I have 256 colors. However, tput stills shows 8. And the TERM is set to screen-bce.

I'm happy to take the patch, but I want to more clearly document what subset of users are positively affected by this, and that other users won't be harmed by it.

Thanks!
