Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.8.2-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
     when upgraded gnome-terminal from 3.4.1.1-2 to 3.8.2-1
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
     from a remote Debian machine, I did "ssh -X -f foo gnome-terminal"
     and got gnome-terminal, then I open emacs on it.  I saw emacs
     in a terminal mode and after I closed emacs I got an message
     "Display localhost:10.0 unavailable, simulating -nw"
   * What was the outcome of this action?
     It seems I cant launch X applications from gnome-terminal called
     with "ssh -X"
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
     when I open emacs without "-nw" it should open emacs in graphic mode.

Thanks for your maintenance.
Best regards,			Mon Jun 10 2013
