All gnome-terminal windows are managed by the same process (this is very
good resource-wise, for example...) Of course, this has the consequence
that if `one' of them dies, they all go down with it. [*]

I hope you did file a bug with information about that crash in
http://bugzilla.gnome.org, so that we can fix it.

Cheers,

[*] Note that if you really want to have several gnome-terminal
processes, you can run gnome-terminal with its --disable-factory command
line option.

    De la observación de la irreductibilidad de las creencias últimas 
    he sacado la mayor lección de mi vida. Aprendí a respetar las ideas 
    ajenas, a detenerme ante el secreto de las conciencias, a entender 
    antes de discutir, a discutir antes de condenar. Y como estoy en 
    vena de confesiones, hago una más, quizás superflua: detesto con 
    toda mi alma a los fanáticos.
