Bug#750607: gnome-terminal does not start anymore since non UTF-8 locale is not supported

[Maurizio Crozzoli]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.12.2-1
Severity: important
Tags: l10n

Dear Maintainer,

I am having the VERY SAME problem described in Debian Bug report logs -
#746415, "gnome-terminal: will not start with non-utf-8 locale" which is still
waiting to be solved.
In the mean time I am completely unable to use gnome-terminal application.

I do not know how to support that bug and more than a month went by without any
answer to that bug report (not necessarily a solution, just an answer) so I
decided to open a new one.

Thanks for your support!!!

Maurizio.
