Description of problem: When I start gnome-terminal it crashes with the following output: $ gnome-terminal The program 'gnome-terminal' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. (Details: serial 106 error_code 8 request_code 78 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) $ This only happens when I connect second monitor to my PC. When running with a single monitor even with Xinerama option in the xorg.conf it's working fine.
