     Means you must have one terminal profile for every location you ssh 
to. And you forbid yourself to use su or ssh from the command line, 
because this doesn't change the color scheme of the terminal.


     It's pretty heavy to manage all the necessary terminal profiles - I 
used gnome-terminal when I experimented with this method, a dozen years 
ago. I eventually found it complicated my life a lot.
