Severity: normal

unblock gnome-terminal/3.4.1.1-2
Grave bug #631968 was reported as "gnome-terminal: fails to start on kFreeBSD"
but turned out to be a GLib bug, for which a fixed package is currently
in my sbuild.
Debugging #631968 was impeded by kFreeBSD gdb reporting starting a new
thread as an "unknown signal" which misled the reporter into thinking
that was the reason gnome-terminal didn't work (see #550361), by
gnome-terminal's dependencies not indicating that it needs a D-Bus session
(#691177), and by gnome-terminal exiting 1 with no warning message if it
couldn't contact D-Bus (#691178). The latter two are easy to solve,
so I cloned severity:important bugs for them.
gnome-terminal (3.4.1.1-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Team upload
* Recommend dbus-x11: gnome-terminal's default usage requires a
D-Bus session, and dbus-x11 is the recommended way to get one of those
(Closes: #691177; related to #631968)
* If unable to connect to D-Bus, warn before we exit 1 (Closes: #691178)
