gnome-terminal won't run in VNC session
Posted by Peter Klein on January 21st, 2004


Hello,

I have a Debian Woody box with Gnome 2.2 installed that acts as a VNC
server. I am able to run any program in a VNC session, except for
gnome-terminal. The program window shows up for a split second, then
disappears. Xterm works just fine through VNC. Anybody know why
gnome-terminal doesn't?
Thanks,

Peter

This is what I get when I run gnome-terminal from an xterm:

The program 'gnome-terminal' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
(Details: serial 772 error_code 11 request_code 53 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.)

I don't feel like debugging the program, so I guess I will have to use xterm.

Peter
