OK, I've given him
xterm*titeInhibit: true
in his .Xdefaults and
:set t_ti= t_te=
in his .exrc So he gets the following..
In an xterm, no alternate screen is used.
In a gnome-term, when vi exits, its stuff is left on screen, when man
(that's less anyhow innit?) exits, the screen clears.
I think that's enough to keep him happy since he can do all that as a user.
Thanks,
Conor
