Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.22.0-1
Severity: normal

gnome-terminal has some resizing problems when opening and
closing tabs.

1. Open terminal window
-> 80x24 terminal
2. Open Tab
-> Whole window shrinks in height in spite of the fact
   that the tab bar is no added, so the terminal size
   is now 79x21
3. Close Tab
-> terminal keeps 79x21, whole windows shrinks, because
   tab bar disappears
4. Open Tab
-> terminal is now 78x18, whole window shrinks
5. Close Tab
-> terminal keeps 78x18, tab bar disap.
6. Open Tab
-> keeps 78x18, tab bar added
and so on

Terminal size doesn't go down under 78x18. The closing tab things
works as expected (keeps terminal size and remove tab bar).

Maybe it has something todo with the gnome libs, some 2.22 libs still
aren't available on sid amd64. If so, I would suggest to set 'harder'
dependencies.
