Bug#548388: gnome-terminal: [2.28.0] crashes on startup

[Norbert Kiesel]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.28.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


just upgraded to 2.28, rebooted, and gnome-terminal crashes right away (actually shows the
window w/o tollbar or menu, but then crashes).  Stacktrace shows:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
