Bug#746415: gnome-terminal: will not start with non-utf-8 locale
Just one more data to clarify the really strange behaviour of my G-T installation: I do not have any non-UTF locale, as you can see from the output of localectl list-locales: C.UTF-8 en_US.utf8 it_IT.utf8 HTH, Maurizio. PS What is the relationship between G-T and G-T-S? I think I usually run G-T only: does it rely on G-T-S underneath?

Bug#746415: Fwd: Bug#750607: gnome-terminal does not start anymore since non UTF-8 locale is not supported
A few hours aqgo I opened a new bug report related to the very same problem reported here. I did it by mistake because it was the first time I was using reportbug. Anyway, to be on the safe side, I am here to forward my bug report as a reply to this bug.

I do not know how to support that bug and more than a month went by without any answer to that bug report (not necessarily a solution, just an answer) so I decided to open a new one.
