Hi, Thanks for your reply. Indeed, I do not use systemd (though it is installed, but not used as primary init) nor dbus-user-session I launched /usr/lib/gnome-terminal/gnome-terminal-server on one term and try to launch gnome-terminal with another, it fails. On the first term, the one with terminal-server, I get "/usr/lib/gnome-terminal/gnome-terminal-server: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/gnome-terminal/gnome-terminal-server: undefined symbol: vte_terminal_set_color_cursor_foreground" and on the second "Error creating terminal: Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying"
