Bug#819823: gnome-terminal: Fails to start with "message bus" warning

[raphael truc]

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.
Indeed, I do not use systemd (though it is installed, but not used as
primary init) nor dbus-user-session
I launched /usr/lib/gnome-terminal/gnome-terminal-server on one term and
try to launch gnome-terminal with another, it fails.
On the first term, the one with terminal-server, I get
"/usr/lib/gnome-terminal/gnome-terminal-server: symbol lookup error:
/usr/lib/gnome-terminal/gnome-terminal-server: undefined symbol:
vte_terminal_set_color_cursor_foreground"
and on the second "Error creating terminal: Message recipient disconnected
from message bus without replying"

Regards

Raphaël
