Bug Description

If you run gnome-terminal like this:

gnome-terminal -x command

and command is not runnable (doesn't exist, etc.) you will be prompted to change the profile preferences or relaunch the command supplied. Clicking relaunch works as expected but the window vertically shrinks by one line each time you click it.

Test:
1. run "gnome-terminal -x blah"
2. click relaunch repeatedly when prompted
3. notice that window shrinks a bit each time

I'll look into writing a patch for this too.

Unfortunately, it seems that writing a patch for this is out of my reach at the moment; I can't understand the code well enough to grasp where the problem is.

I could reproduce the bug on Maverick Meerkat, on gnome terminal 2.32.0.
But, It is a very harmless bug according to me.
