Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

Since upgrading to Ubuntu 8.10, I am unable to start gnome-terminal from my local pc via ssh

Basically, gnome-terminal does a fatal exit with the following error message:

$ ssh -Y <email address hidden> gnome-terminal
<email address hidden>'s password:
**
ERROR:terminal-app.c:1525:terminal_app_init: assertion failed: (app->default_profile_id != NULL)

p.s. ssh -Y <email address hidden> xterm works fine
