Description Davy Defaud 2017-02-15 00:04:52 CET 
Description of problem:

Each time you try to open a new gnome-terminal from the GNOME desktop background contextual menu (displayed when right clicking on the GNOME desktop background), all GNOME terminals are crashing.

The gnome-terminal-server is segfaulting. Hereâs the journal excerpt:

It seems that a call to an X function is made, whereas itâs running without X.org since itâs a GNOME Wayland session.

Comment 1 Davy Defaud 2017-03-26 17:04:59 CEST 
Still there with GNOME 3.24.
Comment 2 Olav Vitters 2017-03-27 00:52:45 CEST 
Please explain how to open the gnome-terminal? Is this some extension?

Comment 3 Davy Defaud 2017-03-27 01:50:43 CEST 
The contextual menu appears when you click on the background with the right button of the mouse, but only if you have enabled the option âIcons on Desktopâ with gnome-tweak-tool (in the Desktop section).

BTW, when enabling this option, you will be able to reproduce mga#20574 tooâ¦

Ooops, I forgot the word bug in my previous comment for autolinkification.
I should be better with: bug 20574.
Comment 5 Davy Defaud 2017-03-27 02:09:30 CEST 
:-(
I meant âIt should be betterâ.
