Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.14.2-1
Followup-For: Bug #233531


This also happens for me and it appears to log the following in .xsession-errors



(gnome-terminal:3910): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:

Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.

Window manager warning: last_user_time (3080311824) is greater than comparison timestamp (1999539407).  This most likely represents a buggy client sending inaccurate timestamps in messages 
such as _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW.  Trying to work around...
Window manager warning: 0x360001e (Terminal) appears to be one of the offending windows with a timestamp of 3080311824.  Working around...
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xb79130dc ***

** (gnome-terminal:4952): WARNING **: No handler for control sequence `device-control-string' defined.



The symptoms for me are the same,  When trying to edit either the current or a new profile gnome-terminal hangs.
