Package: xfce4-terminal
Version: 0.2.12-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


The XFCE4 terminal emulator suddenly ceased to work when I upgraded to the latest version (0.2.12.-1) and has not worked since. I have been using xterm as a workaround.

When I try to start xfce4-terminal from a command prompt, it segfaults instantly. No window appears. Example session:

   $xfce4-terminal
   Segmentation fault
   $

If I click on the XFCE desktop menu option "Open Terminal Here" I see a popup window that says: "Failed to execute default Terminal Emulator" and underneath "Input/output error."

(NOTE: /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator symlinks to /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal.wrapper)

This problem occurs on my work desktop PC, where the details below come from. It also occurs on my home desktop PC (running Debian squeeze, all packages up-to-date) and on my laptop running Xubuntu (the problem occurred on that machine when I updated to Jaunty Jackelope).

All three machines happen to have Intel graphics chipsets of various kinds and all run X with xserver-xorg-video-intel.
