Title:
  gnome-terminal leaks memory on startup after call to g_listenv

Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  gnome-terminal leaks memory on startup because it calls g_listenv
  without freeing the resulting list of strings.  Per the docs, this
  list must be freed:

  http://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.32/glib-Miscellaneous-Utility-
  Functions.html#g-listenv

  g_listenv():  Returns: a NULL-terminated list of strings which must be
  freed with g_strfreev(). [array zero-terminated=1][transfer full]

  
  Here's the valgrind report with the leak:
