Jonathan,

thanks for looking into this.

I'm using the 16.04 lubuntu install CD, amd64. I just did a fresh install
on a vm, then logged in and:

- confirm test user doesn't exist:
$ grep test /etc/passwd
$
- created a test user
$ adduser test
- confirm new test user
$ grep test /etc/passwd
test:x:1000:1000:,,,:/home/test:/bin/bash
$ try lxterminal -> it works!
$ remove default shell and retest
$ grep test /etc/passwd
test:x:1000:1000:,,,:/home/test:
$ open lxterminal -> segfault
Mar 27 07:49:45 computer kernel: [ 1434.631943] x-terminal-emul[5986]:
segfault at 9d49e08 ip 00007f13ddcf8ea2 sp 00007ffdc4a4a6e0 error 4 in
libglib-2.0.so.0.4800.0[7f13ddc8f000+10e000]

does that suffice as a repro?

If no user shell is found, lxterminal should fall back to /bin/sh.
Could you check if that exists in your lubuntu environment?  (That still
wouldn't explain the segfault though).

I'd also like to know which installation iso/image you are using so that
I can replicate the issue.
