It would only clear the text visible in the terminal, but, you can run the cls command or tinker with the feed() method and empty spaces.

I have been having some problems of my own with Vte so I don't know if I'm the right person to answer.

Have you tried replacing the old terminal with another in the container? It's not clearing, but there will be an empty terminal.
