Description of Problem: Unable to open a terminal session, when attempting to access to gnome session, using XDMP direct broadcast method. Steps to reproduce the problem: NOTE: Have only tested using Netmanage Viewnow v.1.0 using RH7.3 box with kernel 2.4.18-24.7.x 1. Open a terminal session - crashes immediately, with error 'Application "gnome-terminal" (Process xxxx) has crashed due to a fatal error. (Floating point exception)' {of course the xxxx is the PID} 3. If I login directly to the actual RH7.3 box, I don't have any problems with a telnet session Actual Results: Terminal window appears for a brief moment, and error message appears. Click on 'close' and terminal window and error dialogue dissapear. Expected Results: A terminal screen
Thanks for the bug report. Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused the crash. Please see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/getting-traces.cgi for more information about getting a useful stack trace.
Created attachment 15116 [details] Stack trace of identical problem
I've experienced exactly the same problem when accessing the box remotely through X-Win Pro 5.3. If I use the console there is no such problem. Get a lot of errors about incomplete fonts (as shown at beginning of trace).
