Description Lennart Poettering 2008-06-12 01:27:19 UTC 
gnome-terminal crashes immediately on startup:

**
** ERROR:(encoding.c:267):encoding_mark_active: assertion failed: (key ==
encoding->charset)
Aborted

Sounds like a locale/charset issue to me, so here are my locale settings:

LANG="de_DE@euro"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
G_FILENAME_ENCODING="ISO-8859-15"

Newest Rawhide, gnome-terminal-2.23.3.1-1.fc10.x86_64
Comment 1 Lennart Poettering 2008-06-15 13:02:55 UTC 
BTW, this seems indeed to be related to locale stuff. If I set LANG to
de_DE.UTF-8 everything works fine. You can probably easily reproduce this bug.
make sure g-t is not running and then start from xterm or so g-t like this:

$ LANG=de_DE@euro gnome-terminal

WorksForMe.  Guess a bad setting left in gconf or something...
Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2008-07-08 16:18:06 UTC 
should be fixed in 2.23.4.2
