Fuck you GNOME

I had to use GNOME today on a random computer. gnome-terminal was beeping all the time. I say no problem, I know how to disable this:
xset b off
It did not work... Hum. I go in the right menu and see a checkbox "Terminal bell". I click on it. All I got is all my terminal windows going away and:
gnome-terminal3557: segfault at 4 ip 0806f417 sp bf9fd000 error 4 in gnome-terminal8048000+3a000
No kidding. You don't want to use X standard ways and prefers to crash at my face. Fuck you.

Well, fuck you too for using such language.
The software had a bug!? Oh noes!
I bet whatever wm/de you use doesn't have any bugs at all. Shut the fuck up and report it. Thanks.
Lose the temper man. Don't start claiming your software never crashes...
I don't say that, I'm just astonished that clicking a checkbox can crash ALL your terminal windows.
Well that was quite an unpolite way to express your astonishment. Besides, GNOME is _not_ gnome-terminal.
I must be remembering wrong but I thought that there used to be an obscure option to switch gnome-terminal to use a new process per window. Or maybe I'm conflating gnome-terminal and windows explorer. (christ, if I am, that's some kind of subconcious damnation of gnome-terminal!)
Alt + F2 xterm Enter
problem solved!
also, fuck all you babies that can't take a word like any other from the English lexicon without turning into drama queens, OP's frustration was well warranted.
That happened on me too, with the Xfce terminal. It crashed on settings changes (the version 0.2.x quite often, the newers having been fixed). And yes it sucks but I didn't blame Xfce for it.
@Jon Terminal (Xfce) has the option --disable-server to not use DBus to check for running instances. gnome-terminal has --disable-factory.
echo blacklist pcspkr > /etc/modules/blacklist.conf (or something like that) tho I have a Beep channel in my mixer card lately.
harsh
@mike: thanks -- that does the trick! Perhaps someone will hack a gconf key at some point to toggle this as default behaviour.
yeah, fuck you gnome.
Every day is another step towards Gnome/Linux.
Fuck gnome, long live KDE.
It is one of the most inconvenient crash for all the active terminals to just disappear. I tend to organize my work by the open terminal tabs (in different virtual desktops). I have experienced the same happen with KDE 4 (Kubuntu 9.10) - konsole crashing, I think also because configuring it... KDE3.5 was so much more stable... Fuck KDE4... made me want to switch to GNOME... But now not so sure any more...
