Found this at AskUbuntu (rather old though):

Sorry for not be of more help. I am not using Ubuntu.

LMDE 7

Good choice. Very stable, very reliable.

two choices to solve the terminal problem

1. Install a second terminal app (I think you have already done this)

2. Reinstall LMDE

(just as a side thought, right click on the terminal icon and select 'Remove' .....then do the menu, type in terminal, right click on it and select add to panel....I described this in my last post) You can also add an icon to the panel for your recently downloaded substitute terminal)
