Bug#769947: mate-terminal: Segfaults after update

[Alex Corcoles]

Hi,

I just reinstalled a system today and managed to find the issue- I replace
marco with xmonad and that makes mate-terminal segfault.

I basically do:

dconf write /org/mate/desktop/session/required-components/windowmanager
"'xmonad'"

to do this.

So this is probably not RC by a long shot.

Thanks,

Álex
