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

[MamoMC]

Just one more data to clarify the really strange behaviour of my G-T
installation: I do not have any non-UTF locale, as you can see from the
output of "localectl list-locales":
C.UTF-8
en_US.utf8
it_IT.utf8

HTH,
Maurizio.

PS What is the relationship between G-T and G-T-S? I think I usually run
G-T only: does it rely on G-T-S underneath?
