| |
Running Ximian-latest for rh72/i386, latest 2.5 kernels (including 2.5.4-pre2, 2.5.4, 2.5.5-pre1).
Symptom: - clicking on the panel icon for gnome-terminal shows a flicker of the terminal window coming up then the window disappears. No leftover processes.
What works 100%: - regular xterm in 2.5.x - gnome-terminal in 2.4.x (x in .17, .18-pre9, .18-rc2)
More info: - doesn't happen 100% of the time, but close - trying to start gnome-terminal either vanilla or with the parameters in the icon from an xterm causes * gnome-terminal window comes up, but no shell prompt; the window *does not* disappear and program is in a CPU loop * program detaches from calling xterm even when '&' is not used * calling xterm's tty is left in a funny state (sometimes stty sane^J is required, sometimes tput reset)
Any ideas would be quite welcome - I can go back and try and narrow down what kernel breaks gnome-terminal if nothing comes up.
Thanks,
