Traceback (most recent call last):

```
I tried running in terminator itself and also from xterm

with the void terminator-1.91_1 package NOT INSTALLED, extracting [terminator-1.91.tar.gz](https://launchpad.net/terminator/gtk3/1.91/+download/terminator-1.91.tar.gz) and executing `./terminator -h `  from the extraction directory,  I get: 
```
$ ./terminator -h
