Multihead regression: gnome-terminal gets $DISPLAY confused sometimes

Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

I have 3 screens on my desktop: :0.0, :0.1, and :0.2. When I initially launch gnome-terminal from the launcher on the top gnome-panel, gnome-terminal pops up and $DISPLAY is properly set. However, after switching around on my (broken; see bug 159615) workspace switcher using CTRL+ALT+RIGHTARROW, $DISPLAY becomes set to :0.0. I'm not sure exactly when it happens. Launching urxvt from a launcher on the Panel sets $DISPLAY properly. This may be related to the breakage described in bug 159615. This worked properly in Feisty.
