Public bug reported:

I've just upgraded to oneiric.  This is probably my first time trying
Unity.

Starting a terminal creates no apparent window.  However, a terminal is
created (somewhere) and my focus is shifted to it.  If I start a
terminal and then type in "xclock", for example, despite not seeing that
appear anywhere, an xclock instance will start up.  I can even kill the
xclock program with ctrl-c, so the terminal appears to be active.
Typing "exit" removes the little white triangles next to the terminal
application, so it must be ending the process then, too.

I tried launching an xterm and running 'gnome-terminal' from within
that, and I get the same results.
