I have also seen this failure and it only occurs during a remote connection.
For me, changing the desktop theme did not allow gnome-terminal to start. I was using "Radiance" when I first encountered the issue. Switching to "Ambiance" did not help. The problems occur in a remote session, using vncserver, not otherwise. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/686836 Title: gnome apps won't start via remote desktop -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
