Terminator: do not broadcast to other windows

Terminator has a cool feature that allows you to split your terminal into many panels and type in all of them at the same time. It's called broadcasting and can be enabled by pressing Alt+a (and disabled by Alt+o).

However, in some circumstances it will also be broadcasted to other running instances of Terminator. This probably is not what you want and could be very dangerous (e.g. if you're logged in to a production server in a terminal that is on another workspace).

To prevent the broadcast from affecting other windows, go to Preferences and disable DBus server.
