Bug#1109375: unblock: gnome-terminal/3.56.2-2

[Simon McVittie]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: gnome-terminal at packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:gnome-terminal
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

I would like this to be considered for Debian 13.0 if possible, but if
we're too late for that, it can be deferred to 13.1 by converting this
request into a trixie-pu request.

[ Reason ]

Upstream bugfix release, plus a patch cherry-picked from upstream to 
fix #1109086.

[ Impact ]

trixie's current gnome-terminal has undefined behaviour during startup 
due to a missing initialization, which practice leads to intermittent 
failure to start if given "--wait" and a lot of other arguments.

It also uses a legacy icon name which is no longer available in default 
GNOME installations (#1109086) leading to use of an unsightly "broken 
image" icon instead of the intended checkmark.

[ Tests ]

Manually tested with and without command-line arguments.

Also manually tested #1109086 by creating a second "profile" and 
swapping the default between the two, which works fine and displays an 
appropriate icon now.

[ Risks ]

Key package in our default desktop environment, and will likely be used 
by any new GNOME user who needs to debug an unrelated issue.

The changes are narrowly-targeted and proportionate to the issues fixed.

[ Checklist ]

  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing

[ Other info ]

The change in subprojects/vte/ can be ignored, we don't use that copy in 
Debian. Our vte2.91 package already had that bug fix cherry-picked.
