----------- .xsession-errors ---------------------
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'gnome-terminal' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 1193 error_code 8 request_code 72 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Comment 1 Marise 2008-08-13 13:03:41 UTC

I just updated my cairo packages to v. 1.6.4 after bug report #547429 and the same problem occurs.  Gnome-terminal crashes on startup when logged in as user but not when logged in as root.  

Also, another terminal program (Terminal 0.2.8) crashes on startup when executed by user but not by root.
