Other information:
stepping through in gdb died within initialize_alpha_mode on:
colormap = gdk_screen_get_rgba_colormap (screen);

*workaround* by changing initialize_alpha_mode to simply:
  window->priv->have_argb_visual = FALSE;
  return;

X Window System error reported:
The program 'gnome-terminal' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Details: serial 103 error_code 2 request_code 78 minor_code 0)

Metacity is the window manager.

-> gtk+ .
Comment 2 André Klapper 2009-07-24 17:26:54 UTC 
This crash report seems to have been submitted against version 2.10 (or earlier) of GTK.
This version is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates.
The current stable GTK version is 2.16 and include in recent GNOME
distributions.

Can you please check again whether this issue still happens in GTK 2.14 or 2.16
and update this report by adding a comment and changing the "Version" field?
Thanks a lot.

Again thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed
for the version you originally used here.
Comment 3 Brent Hills 2009-07-24 20:03:59 UTC 
Unable to reproduce under more current versions of GTK.
