gnome-terminal will not load, sudo gnome-terminal will

I got this - it coincided with suddenly needing to enter a Keyring password on every login. I think that started after installing chrome-remote-desktop.

It also screwed my sound - no sound device:

The fix is here: Installing Google Chrome Remote Desktop messed up my box

All I had to do was sudo rm -rf ~/.config/chrome-remote-desktop and reboot.

I got my sound back and I could launch gnome-terminal again

chrome-remote-desktop was the culprit
