It was happening every time but is not now - I'm not sure whether an update fixed it or something I did (I can't remember when it stopped happening - I run standard Ubuntu Hardy too). I'll see if I can find out.
I am not using the colours from system theme but I did change the colours to black on white from the original white on black. I also changed the font. -- Error starting Terminal in Ubuntu-Studio Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198473 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
