Bug#871618: gnome-terminal: package should depend on dbus-x11

[Mark Hedges]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.22.2-1
Severity: important

Tried to install gnome-terminal by itself on a system without the tasksel window system tasks run.  It wouldn't launch until I manually installed the dbus-x11 package.  Looks like the control file needs this dependency.
