Re: Launching Terminal application freezes the GUI

[Benoît Thiébault <thiebault artenum com>]

It is indeed when starting gnome-terminal that the problem occurs with
plenty of messages such as:

> (gnome-terminal:25079): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load type module:
> (null)

> menu_proxy_module_load

Launching xterm is reasonably fast and I have not seen this kind of
problems with other applications.

I know that Gnome 3 and Ubuntu are not friends... I am waiting for
Fedora 15 to be released... I wanted to stay on a Debian-based distro
but I guess it is too early to have one that supports Gnome 3 correctly.

I will file a bug with my .xsession-errors file.
