Distribution/Version: FC4 test / rawhide

1. Make a file on your desktop.

  touch ~/Desktop/'Britney Naked; rm -rf ~\n'

2. Drag this icon into your terminal.


OK--it probably doesn't exactly work like that, but you get the point!

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into
our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.

The other bug is WONTFIX, so you'll need the convince the maintainer. That'll be
hard, as he is not around / really working on vte (terminal widget that
gnome-terminal uses).
