Public bug reported:
On just about every upgrade of my lucid desktop, and sometimes more than
once within a single update-manager run, the color scheme on all of my
gnome terminals will suddenly switch from light gray on black to light
gray on white. To reset this, I have to go into the profile, and under
background, toggle from 'solid color' to 'background image' and back.
This is not specific to gnome terminal; other users of vte, such as
update-manager's own terminal widget, are also affected - I just have no
easy way to restore the sane color scheme there.
Studying the terminal log carefully, the glitch appears to correspond to
the firing of the fontconfig trigger, calling fc-cache -s -v whenever a
font is updated. However, I was unable to reproduce this when running
fc-cache -s -v directly, possibly due to the cache being up-to-date -
and not thinking far enough ahead, I rm -rf'ed the cache instead of
moving it aside, and was *still* not able to reproduce the problem, so I
may have destroyed my only reproducible test case for this. :/ Still,
there's a bug somewhere in vte that I'm managing to trigger.
