I got this bug after an update that had not completed successfully, and the crash occurred every time I tried launching gnome-terminal. Then I ran "sudo apt-get -f install", and now I am able to launch gnome- terminal without problems. In the upstream bug (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=655366), a developer has said that this seems specific to Ubuntu. Do other people who experience this bug have similar experiences?
