Hi,

After my latest apt-get upgrade, mate-terminal segfaults on start.

$ gdb mate-terminal
GNU gdb (Debian 7.7.1+dfsg-5) 7.7.1

(gdb) run

Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
get_initial_workspace () at terminal.c:539
539     terminal.c: No such file or directory.
(gdb) where
#0  get_initial_workspace () at terminal.c:539
#1  main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffe388) at terminal.c:645
(gdb) continue
Continuing.

Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
The program no longer exists.
(gdb) where
No stack.
(gdb) quit

(I'm afraid my gdb skills are pretty much non-existent)

Cheers,

Alex

Starting program: /usr/bin/mate-terminal [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]

Greets,
Mike

Raising severity to RC bug status for now. It would be good if either of you (Alex, Ben) could provide more info on how you use mate-terminal (locale, with MATE desktop, in some other X11 context, what theme, etc.). As I personally can not reproduce this bug, I am unsure how to narrow down its cause. Is there a way for me to reproduce this issue on a freshly installed system? Any recipe that you can give?
