gnome-terminal and ^] telnet escape character

[Christopher Calzonetti]

Nope.  That simply makes the font size larger.

In fact, it seems that when the CTRL key is held, that the ] key is 
behaving as the = key.  ie. CTRL-SHIFT-] acts as CTRL-+ and increases 
the font size, while CTRL-] acts as CTRL-= and returns the terminal font 
to the default size.

Totally bizarre.
