Well I've now tried several combinations of xorg.conf with both open- source nv and proprietary nvidia drivers. Every combination worked with gnome-terminal, EXCEPT when xinerama was enabled.
I go to the point where I tried simply commenting xinerama out of my xorg.conf. Gnome started an instance on both screens (I'm not sure what mode this is called) and gnome-terminal worked. Uncommenting xinerama meant that it would not start. I've included xorg.conf. I searched for xinerama bugs but didn't find anything similar. Also, would this count as a regression? My xorg.conf worked perfectly in Dapper and I'm using the same one in Edgy. Should I file a new bug against xorg? ** Attachment added: "xorg.conf" http://librarian.launchpad.net/4685666/xorg.conf.gz -- edgy gnome-terminal does not start https://launchpad.net/bugs/58232 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
