Now that I am getting into explicitly trying to trigger this bug, I see that I really don't know how to trigger it for certain. I'm coming to believe that long time running may be important to getting it to happen. I have a little icon in the upper panel that I put there when I installed gnome. Clicking that icon starts gnome-terminal. I know how to edit the internal object that provides that icon. Now the command that it invokes is 'gnome-terminal'. Should I edit it to be 'gdb gnome-terminal' ? But then where would the controlling console be? Rather than my inventing some crazy scheme, I would like some instruction as to what, in detail, to do. Also, do you know whether the single instance of gnome-terminal terminates when all the window instances are closed? Or does it hang around waiting for a request to open a new window quickly? -- Paul E Condon pecon...@mesanetworks.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
