This patch restores the scroll alternate screen feature, thus closing the bug. It also adds a hidden
option to the terminalrc file which can be set to FALSE to disable the feature. I also propose to add
the following text to the debian README file:

* Scrolling the alternate screen

In Terminal when you use the scroll wheel when a program is running that uses
the alternate screen and is not mouse aware, the program is sent three up or
down keys instead.

For xfce4-terminal, we have a hidden option in
~/.config/Terminal/terminalrc, callled ScrollingAlternateScreen, which is set
to TRUE by default, enabling the alternate screen scrolling feature. You
can disable the feature by adding a line with
ScrollingAlternateScreen=FALSE
in the terminalrc file.
