Bug Description
gnome-terminal writes debug messages to stderr every time it starts up:
# _g_io_module_
# _g_io_module_
# watch_fast: "/org/gnome/
# unwatch_fast: "/org/gnome/
# watch_established: "/org/gnome/
This pollutes the terminal when a script explicitly invokes gnome-terminal to open another window.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Open a terminal and type "gnome-terminal"
RESULTS: Debug messages appear on the first terminal
EXPECTED RESULTS: Nothing should appear on stderr or stdout of gnome-terminal itself, unless there is an actual error.
P.S. Presumably a debug build escaped and was released. To prevent this from happening, it would be a good idea to add a test which checks that gnome-terminal writes nothing to std* in normal (non-error) cases.
