Fix useless double-click selection in Gnome 3.16

Raw

New versions of Gnome have a broken behavior for double-click selections. Strings like URLs can'be be selected with double-click, as usual.

The correct behavior can be restored with:

$ dconf write  \
    /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:${PROFILE}/word-char-exceptions \
    '@ms ":-,.;/?%&#_=+@~·"'

@ms stands for maybe-string-gvariant-type, it seems.
