** Description changed:

- Trivial program that will crash gnome-terminal. Select some text in
- gnome-terminal and run this:
+ 1) lsb_release -rd
+ Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
+ Release:	14.04
  
+ 2) apt-cache policy gnome-terminal
+ gnome-terminal:
+   Installed: 3.6.2-0ubuntu1
+   Candidate: 3.6.2-0ubuntu1
+   Version table:
+  *** 3.6.2-0ubuntu1 0
+         500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
+         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
+ 
+ 3) What is expected to happen is when one first installs the package libx11-dev , opens two terminal windows, highlights some text in one, and executes the following in the other, it does not crash:
+ gcc -o run run.c -lX11 && ./run
+ 
+ Where run.c is a file containing the following:
  #include <X11/Xlib.h>
  
  int main()
  {
-   Display* dpy = XOpenDisplay(0);
-   Atom selection = XInternAtom(dpy, "PRIMARY", False);
-   Atom target = XInternAtom(dpy, "STRING", False);
-   Window table = RootWindow(dpy, 0);
-   XConvertSelection(dpy, selection, target, None, table, CurrentTime);
-   XSync(dpy, 0);
-   return 0;
+   Display* dpy = XOpenDisplay(0);
+   Atom selection = XInternAtom(dpy, "PRIMARY", False);
+   Atom target = XInternAtom(dpy, "STRING", False);
+   Window table = RootWindow(dpy, 0);
+   XConvertSelection(dpy, selection, target, None, table, CurrentTime);
+   XSync(dpy, 0);
+   return 0;
  }
  
+ 4) What happens instead is it crashes consistently.
