I have just installed xfce 4.3.99.1 and tried out Terminal for the first time. When choosing "Open Tab" or "Open Terminal" from the Open menu, my Terminal disappears and in the startup window, I see "Broken pipe"
Created attachment 803 Possible fix While I don't see why SIGPIPE should be sent to the Terminal process, this patch should atleast work-around the problem that the process exits.
That did solve the problem... thanks... seems to work now. it's not clear to me why it's necessary though..
