Bug Description
When Xinerama is enabled when using the proprietary nvidia drivers, gnome-terminal fails to start. When run from an alternative terminal (konsole), the error is:
The program 'gnome-terminal' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
(Details: serial 105 error_code 2 request_code 78 minor_code 0)
(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 --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
I've tried several combinations of xorg.conf with both open-source nv and proprietary nvidia drivers. Each combination worked with gnome-terminal, except when xinerama was enabled.
When I tried commenting xinerama out of my otherwise working xinerama enabled xorg.conf, gnome-terminal worked. Uncommenting xinerama meant that it would not start.

Thanks for your bug report. How is this different from bug 58232?
