I forgot to mention two points in my previous message that the journalctl output.
The first point was that the journalctl output was obtained when trying to launch gnome terminal explicitly with LANG=C, so the bug is not only related to non-UTF8 locale as discussed in <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-terminal/-/issues/7472>. Regardless, my default locale is fr_FR.UTF-8 so it is not an UTF-8 problem. The second point was that from time to time, gnome-terminal does launch, perhaps once every 10 or 20 attempts, I don't know. Looks like some kind of very frequent race condition, but it's only a wild guess from me. I also have since yesterday other gnome things that lag a lot, like evolution that sometimes freeze or takes a long time to open a message composing window, I don't know if it is related. best regards, Luc
