These are just warnings. If you're so inclined you can try fixing them up later, but they shouldn't matter for the current problem at least. > Also > > when I started gnome-terminal from that point it gave me a completely > working terminal...

Well, this tells us that, most likely, the problem doesn't lie with gnome-terminal itself, but rather with some other application that's running in your session. The next step would be to try to log into a failsafe gnome session and see if it works there. That'll just start up gnome with none of your personal settings applied. If it works fine there, then it's time to start really digging. At that point, you can try the strace approach that Jurriaan mentioned and see if it helps. If you have a conflict with another program the strace should show you where the problem lies (if you can read the output that is. It's a bit of an acquired skill...) p.s. I'm subscribed to the list so you don't have to do a Reply To All when responding. As it looks like you're using Evolution you can just do "Reply to List" (Ctrl+L is the default, I believe), and it will take care of the rest for you. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
