Bug#636766: gnome-terminal: aborts when editing current profile

[brian m. carlson]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.0.0-1
Severity: important

Whenever I choose Edit->Profile Preferences or try to edit the current
(and only) profile from Edit->Profiles, gnome-terminal aborts.  If
running it from xterm, I get the following:

  lakeview ok % gnome-terminal
  
  GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser' does not contain a key named 'last-folder-uri'
  aborting...
  zsh: abort      gnome-terminal

I don't know why gnome-terminal has anything to do with a file chooser,
but crashing and taking every terminal window and every terminal tab
with it, along with all the work being done in those tabs, is, to put it
nicely, very undesirable.  This is severity important because, despite
the data loss, it is very easy to work around.

In dconf, I do have an org.gtk.settings.file-chooser (note the case
and punctuation differences), but it does not have a last-folder-uri
key.
