>Description:
To whom it may concern:

When I use terminal applications that utilize the vte widget (x11-toolkits/vte), the pseudo-terminals that they spawn are not recognized by the system. 
For example, when the 'finger' or 'w' commands are used, terminal windows created by said applications do not show in their output.

However, on 8.2, they do.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use a terminal application (Xfce terminal, gnome-terminal) that uses vte.
>Fix:
n/a
