It /seems/ to not happen anymore. In the meanwhile, there has been a lot
of upgrades, and I restarted gdm (so, X). One thing for sure, is that
there also has been a gnome-term and libvte upgrade a few days ago, but
that changed nothing after a gnome-term restart. I'll try to take a look
at my dpkg.log and find which package upgrade is responsible of the fix.
I'll then suggest you to add a conflict or properly versioned dependency
on whatever the cause was...

Cheers,

Mike
