TigerVNC 1.3.80 crashing gnome-terminal in RHEL7

[Richa]

I built tigervnc-1.3.80 from source on RHEL7. The vnc works fine but when I open gnome-terminal and click mouse or press keys on the terminal, it crashes. I get the following error:

(gnome-terminal-server:3188): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_settings_get: the format string may not contain '&' (key 'encoding' from schema 'org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Profile'). This call will probably stop working with a future version of glib.

(gnome-terminal-server:3188): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'gnome-terminal-server' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadImplementation (server does not implement operation)'.
(Details: serial 994 error_code 17 request_code 132 minor_code 46)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

What exactly is it that I'm doing wrong?

This looks like an X error rather than anything VNC related, so it
probably has something to do with the Xorg code you are using rather
than TigerVNC. Still, 1.3.80 is some old development code so you should
try with a stable release instead.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

Thanks Pierre for the reply. I built tigervnc 1.4.3 on RHEL7 and crash issue is resolved now.

Currently, I am getting ~15-20 seconds black screen before gnome-session is getting opened in the viewer. Is this a known issue?

Thanks,

Richa

Not something I'm aware of, no. Can you test with another desktop
environment so we can see if it is specifically gnome that has problems?
