Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
After today's dist-upgrade I restarted my desktop and ended up with totally unusable terminals. I got black text on almost-black background, huge font size, the scrollbar and menu bar were back, etc.
I found out that the reason for this was that the default profile was set to "Ambience" now, automatically. Can we please _not_ change the theme by default if the user customized it? This is a direct violation of the "golden rule"..
I suppose this is a bad interaction between 02_rename_

Oh, before filing this bug report I manually flipped the default profile back to "Default" (the /apps/gnome- terminal/ global/ default_ profile key). I'm pretty sure it was "Ambience" after the upgrade (at least that's what the terminal "Profiles.." dialog showed). If necessary I can dig out my older gconf settings from my backup.
