I just encountered this bug myself. I had 4 different terminals open on
different workspaces. The workspace I was in had 1 terminal open with 2
tabs, I clicked and dragged the right tab and moved it to the left one,
I let go and then clicked on the display to deselect the tab. I entered
a command and then did an alt+2 and pressed enter and then all of my
terminals disappeared. The following line showed up in my kern.log -
gnome-terminal[1963]: segfault at 20 ip b709caca sp bfbf8f30 error 4 in
libgobject-2.0.so.0.3000.0[b708b000+4d000]

This is the first time gnome-terminal has crashed on me. Two of my
coworkers, since upgrading to Ubuntu 11.10, have also encountered this
issue after doing some tab management.

Title:
  gnome-terminal segfault error 4 libgobject-2.0.so

Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  During routine usage of gnome-terminal, I experienced a segfault/crash
  of the app.

  I've never observed a crash in terminal,  so it was very surprising.
  Unfortunately, the only log I received was this:

  [243052.154280] gnome-terminal[1839]: segfault at 8 ip b6f1daca sp
  bfa91790 error 4 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.3000.0[b6f0c000+4d000]

  There were no cores, and apport was disabled (the default setting) so
  nothing meaningful was captured.

  I had 3 windows open with multiple tabs in each. One window contained
  a screen session. The error seemed to occur while I was using vi and
  editing a file. I don't know if this is reproducible, but hopeful the
  ip/sp info may be of some use.
