hello again,
simply commenting out the offending code in src/terminal.c makes the
problem go away, with no perceived ill effects (i.e. the terminal opens,
does not explode or kill kittens, etc).

the lines were apparently put there to prevent a hypothetically ugly
death later on due to not being able to talk to a gconf process. however,
the ping function itself is flawed and doesn't work when the uid doesn't
match up with a running/accessible dbus session (and i guess gconf is
now using dbus somewhere deeper in the plumbing).
however, if the check is removed, gnome-terminal successfully spawns a
gconf session for the new uid and starts up, so i fail to see the point
of the check at all.
