Bug#746415: gnome-terminal: will not start with non-utf-8 locale

[MamoMC]

Here are some tests run on my PC.
I wonder they are helpful to debug (and hopefully solve!) the problem.

In red the only case when the code did not give any error and it did exit a
few seconds after it had been run without any message.

I also tried to follows some suggestions from
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=180103 by giving as root
locale-gen + localectl set-locale LANG="en_US.UTF-8" + reboot but no good
results.
In the end of the blog DESPAIR says

Today I got last update "GNOME Terminal 3.12.2".
And problem seems like fixed.

I do have the very SW version but it did not work for me.

Egmont, please feel free forward to bugzilla.gnome.org my tests you can
find at the beginning of this reply if you think it can be useful.

Maurizio.
