Scroll which file?  The *scratch* buffer is too short, and cannot be
scrolled.

I hope someone can post a backtrace, because this is 100% not
reproducible on my system (but I don't have gnome-terminal or
gnome-shell).

Also, could you perhaps try a recent pretest of Emacs 24.3?  If that
problem doesn't exist there, it probably was already solved.
