Public bug reported:
Auto-type works across most applications (browsers, email clients, etc.)
but fails specifically in gnome-terminal.
When I invoke auto-type with focus in gnome-terminal, KeePass pops up a
modal window whose title is "KeePass" reading: "For global auto-type,
the 'xdotool' utility/package is required (version 2.20100818.3004 or
higher!)."
$ dpkg -l keepass2 xdotool

I recently updated to Ubuntu 17.10. I'm fairly confident that I never
got this error in 17.04, but I may will simply never have tried auto-
type in gnome-terminal, at least recently.
