Bug#750607: gnome-terminal: SOLVED

[alex bodnaru]

Package: gnome-terminal
Followup-For: Bug #750607

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

hello friends,

the problem was not terminal related, but non libc compatible locales 
were defined in gnome.
i have installed another terminal app, evilvte and run locale inside it.
here i discovered the locale was incorrect: en_US.utf8.
by brute force (grep -r "en_US\.utf8" in $HOME), i found ~/.dmrc and dconf.
in the dconf-editor, ctrl+f helped me find the string. ~/.dmrc is smaller.
fixing that and re-login, gnome terminal is back.

hope that would help,
alex
