Well, giving it a quick spin, le seems to work nicely. I'm always a bit
reluctant when it comes to removing editors, shells and terminal
emulators (although this one admittedly feels a bit like a gimmick).

Unless it proves troublesome, it would seem appropriate to switch to the
fork you found (and yes, the fix was indeed obvious, but we don't want
to carry patches of this size if we can help it).
