Bug#249908: gnome-terminal: crashes when selecting new profile with spacebar

[Jason Martens]

Hey,
   Thanks for the reply.  I installed a brand new system using unstable 
(with gnome-terminal 2.6.1) and I am still having the issue.

Here are the steps to reproduce my problem.

1. Create a new terminal profile.  The other profile I created is called 
"HP-UX" and the only thing changed from the default term is the use of 
Control-H for the backspace key (required for HP-UX shell. boooo).
2. Open a new gnome-terminal window.
3. Press alt-t for the terminal menu, arrow over and down to select the 
"HP-UX" terminal profile,  and when it is highlighted, press the spacebar.

At this point on my system, I cannot interact with any windows on my 
desktop (GNOME).  I can see the windows continue to be updated, but I 
cannot use any menus, right-click or anything.  To regain control of the 
system, it is necessary to log in from another system (via ssh) and kill 
the gnome-terminal process.
