Thank you for your bug. The crash is similar to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=352806

one task is enough there

Hey, try this:

edit file: /usr/lib/gedit-2/plugins/terminal.py
find all: term.fork_command()
replace with: term.fork_command("/bin/bash")

This will change the shell that is used in gedit terminal plugin to bash. zsh does not work there.

Sorry, this won't resolve your problem.
