Please see this posts for more information.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run a terminal. (all are ok except gnome-terminal)
then, within the newly created terminal,
set LC_CTYPE env to zh_CN.UTF-8
run the gnome-terminal.
Note: We must ensure that LC_CTYPE for gnome-termimal is set to zh_CN.UTF-8
then, Right click on the terminal, and choose, 'Edit Current Profile...'
Close the newly created dialog with [Close] button.
then, Close the gnome-terminal,
The bug-buddy starts.
It's not only for gnome-terminal.
For all other apps such as gedit will also trigger the bug-buddy.
If you don't create the dialog, and these apps are working fine.
>Fix:
I don't know,
But currently, I think the problem is not in gnome.
It's probably a bug within FreeBSD's locale lib.
As, when we set LC_CTYPE into C, It worked fine.
