Hello, Today I trying to investigate further why not doesn't start gnome-terminal in certain conditions I have discovered something. I have runned gcon-editor and for new users it's missing from apps gnome-terminal entry. So no Default configuration is added for gnome-terminal in gnome schema in sid.
It seems that a gnome component doesn't push for user needed gconf files under ./gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/ For old users /.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal exists and it is started via gksu. In gnome 3.4.2.* it seems that a gnome component added Default config in gnome schema for gnome-terminal. Thank you.
