I get same thing. After a reboot, I opened 20 gnome-terminal windows. Each opened in the blink of an eye, nicely cascaded. Then I clicked them cloased. Same for a vnc connected user. Same nice action. --- Then, after some time - a day or so. My uptime says 2 days 3 hrs, but I had problems last night. I just now tried to open a new window - content was black. Then after some timeout interval - maybe 60 seconds, the content turned white, but no blinking cursor or '#' prompt showed up. Looking at /var/log/messages, I saw: Jul 26 09:42:23 hoho2 pam_timestamp_check: pam_timestamp: `/' owner UID != 0 Jul 26 09:42:54 hoho2 last message repeated 13 times Jul 26 09:43:58 hoho2 last message repeated 25 times Jul 26 09:44:59 hoho2 last message repeated 25 times Jul 26 09:46:03 hoho2 last message repeated 25 times ... ... lots more identical lines..

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040629 Firefox/0.9.1 Description of problem: after a some time working with the gnome desktop (don't know if it happens in kde, not using it) the gnome-terminal stops functioning properly. When trying to open a new tab: it takes about 20 seconds and an empty tab turns up, but no shell. when trying to start a xterm from a still working terminal the following message appears: get_pty: not enough ptys it seems to downgrade from here closing a working shells allows you to create a new, if you are lucky..... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start up gnome open a lot of shells 2. and after a day or sooner you can not open a new one 3. Actual Results: see desc. Expected Results: a new terminal Additional info: googled it. and it might be udev(or something like it) related but I'm not quiet sure howto debug this. only a reboot helps.....
