           do this), the dynamically-set title can 
           erase the configured title, go before it, go after it, 
           or replace it. The possible values are "replace", 
           "before", "after", and "ignore".
         </td></tr><tr><td>/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/title</td><td>string</td><td> </td><td>
           Title to display for the terminal window or tab. 
           This title may be replaced by or combined with 
           the title set by the application inside the terminal, 
           depending on the title_mode setting.

           Number of scrollback lines to keep around. You can 
           scroll back in the terminal by this number of lines; 
           lines that don't fit in the scrollback are discarded.
           Be careful with this setting; it's the primary factor

          the terminal can use. This is that palette, in the form 
          of a colon-separated list of color names. Color names 
          should be in hex format e.g. "#FF00FF"

          A value between 0.0 and 1.0 indicating how much to darken 
          the background image. 0.0 means no darkness, 1.0 means fully 
          dark. In the current implementation, there are only two levels of 
          darkness possible, so the setting behaves as a boolean,
          where 0.0 disables the darkening effect.

	  If true, font anti-aliasing will be disabled when running without the X RENDER
