[Debian GNUstep maintainers] Bug#956807: terminal.app: terminal does not start

[Gürkan Myczko]

Dear Anna,

The screenshot looks a lot like GNOME, not GNUstep, do you really have 
terminal.app
installed? Can you start it from xterm as Terminal?
It starts for me normally.

Can you check you don't mean gnome-terminal?
dpkg -l terminal.app gives what output?

xterm works, but Terminal.app not, can you give the output of

strace Terminal ?
