Description Tom Ball 2003-03-13 15:45:37 UTC

Package: gnome-terminal
Severity: normal
Version: 2.0.1
Synopsis: gnome-terminal 2.0.1 crashes on start-up
Bugzilla-Product: gnome-terminal
Bugzilla-Component: general
BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.0.3)

Description:
Description of Problem:
When starting gnome-terminal 2.0.1, an error dialog immediately is
displayed stating that the app has crashed.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Invoke gnome-terminal

Actual Results:
Crash dialog

Expected Results:
A terminal window

How often does this happen?
Consistently

Additional Information:
I just ran garnome's "make install" for the first time.  It's supposed
to keep the GNOME 2 build separate from my system's, but my assumption
is that a shared installation file was broken.  I would appreciate any
help in repairing this damage.

Workaround is to run ~/garnome/bin/fc-cache as root.
