Bug Description

Objective: Disable gnome-terminal's close confirmation dialog

On Ubuntu <= 14.10, I would do the following:

gconf-editor -> apps -> gnome-terminal -> global -> untick confirm_window_close

This no longer works with 15.04.

The above process inserts that key into the configuration, but gnome-terminal does not honour it. gconf-editor gives a warning saying "this key has no schema"

This may or may not be classed as a regression.

Certainly, I'd be obliged if anyone could suggest what procedure is required on 15.04
