Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

Currently there are a couple of bugs that can crash Gnome Terminal. When this happens, *all* of the open terminals are closed.

Gnome Terminal should be fixed to run one *separate* process per window, ensuring that any single instance crashing does have the potential to wipe out large amounts of work. IIRC, Gnome Terminal previously ran in this mode, and thus switching to a single process for all of the separate sessions is a regression.
