gnome-terminal problems

Hi there,after upgrade to gnome-terminal 3.12.1-1,I found some errors appears :
First, when I want to open a new terminal use my custom shortcuts Ctrl+Alt+T,sometimes it will make the whole screen freeze, and I have to switch to another TTY to kill it.Then I check my system log, there are many warnings like:

org.gnome.Terminal[958]: (gnome-terminal-server:7346): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: g_object_weak_unref: couldn't find weak ref 0x7faec0b2c420(0x14e1550)

Is there something wrong ?I also try to compile it by myself , but it gives a warning:

server.c: In function ‘main’:
server.c:113:5: warning: ignoring return value of ‘chdir’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result]
     (void) chdir ("/");
     ^

are all the problems caused by this ?How could I handle this, can anyone fix that?Thanks for your works.Sorry for my poor English.

Re: gnome-terminal problems

That compiler warning is probably benign (harmless).  The function appears to change the working directory and then return a void pointer.  The pointer is not used because, apparently, in this case it is not needed.
