Gnome Terminal artifacts

[Indigo 23]

After upgrading ports and subsequently upgrading to Gnome 2.18.2 from
2.18.1, gnome-terminal seems to have a problem where it just litters
the window with various artifacts, I'm not sure if this is a
gnome-terminal problem or is something related to vte.  This occurs
whether I am using transparency or a background color (i.e. black).
Has anyone else experienced this?
