Something probably worth mentioning: gnome-font-properties says Andale Mono as terminal font and sans for all others I don't use any Verdana font stuff afaik .. and yet gnome-terminal sends out an error about it
Nalin, is this related to bug 96439?
bug 96439 says: Additional Information: Connced to Redhat 8.0 from a Win NT PC using Xwin32. That's really far from my situation. This is a very regular x86 box running a local X server (Debian sid standard XFree package)
The stack trace seems to match the one in bug 107285, so that is probably a duplicate of this one. Timothee: Do you have Xft1 installed (in addition to Xft2)? There have been many cases of programs being built that mix the two if they're both available and end up causing crashes. Havoc seems to believe that was the problem in bug 107285, and since the stack traces seem to match, it may be your problem too.
old bug can't reproduce anymore. closing as invalid as I'm really unable to provide info on this anymore
