Bug#431830: gnome-terminal takes very long to run if internet connection is down

[Paolo Benvenuto]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.18.1-1
Severity: normal

I have a dsl internet connection, and I could realize that when it is down gnome-terminal can't run,
or lasts a very long time (minutes) to run.
