All the configurations are default ones. Moreover both su and ssh are
working with gnome-terminal. I tried these commands in trunk compiled
emacs and packaged emacs both on fedora 12 and debian squeeze/testing,
it is failing every where.

I will try if the same problem is there on my colleagues' systems tomorrow.
