Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

gnome-terminal crashes immediately when ever a new instance is created producing following output on konsole

--------------

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 856 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.)
aborting...
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

Getting the same problem. Running latest gutsy build and getting the latest updates. Bug is easily reproduced. Always crashes when running the gnome-terminal command with the same error message. Here's my crash log.
