I have just rebooted my machine (trying to diagnose something else) and now I'm finding that gnome-terminal sometimes fails to start. In fact after starting two or three gnome-terminals no more will start. I run fvwm2 with a collection of 5 or so gnome-terminals that are automatically started, it comes up with two or three and then won't run any more. Running "gnome-terminal" from the command line just hangs, no diagnostics, nothing. Similarly for gnome-panel. Other terminals (xterm etc.) run OK. I've not changed anything on the system for quite a while, no updates or anything. I've tried removing and re-installing gnome-terminal, no help. So, where should I be looking for a cause, how can I diagnose it? -- Chris Green
