Gnome terminal is one of the main tool for Admins as it's the only command line interface where admins work on server typing commands, one day i found it corrputed. When i click on termianl icon, terminal tab appears on taskbar and cursor shows busy symbol after few seconds tab disappears automatically.

I guessed gnome terminal was corrputed and decided to reinstall it like below.

[root@manny ~]# yum remove gnome-terminal

Then reinstall it again


[root@manny ~]# yum install gnome-terminal

That simple.
