The XFCE4 terminal emulator suddenly ceased to work when I upgraded to

When I try to start xfce4-terminal from a command prompt, it segfaults

Can you provide a backtrace, with debugging symbols?
Not without instructions. I can supply strace.
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.
Do you have some weird config on all three? Do you use compositing?
I definitely can't reproduce, neither on lenny or sid.
You may want to try gnome-terminal too and see if it breaks too.
Cheers,
No compositing. I even switched xserver to vesa and still got a segfault.
However, to test a fresh home directory with no legacy configuration, I
created a new user account and logged in as this user. I then tried
xfce4-terminal and it worked OK. So it looks like my existing user
configuration either conflicts with the new version of the terminal, or
else got fried somehow when I updated to xfce 4.6.
Gnome terminal works fine.
