I think you need to have a look at Xfce's README
(/usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/xfce-4.12*) - the way you start xfce
is 'sort of fine' but im not sure manually launching a session d-bus
like this works fine.
The 'blessed way' (to get shutdown/restart working among other things)
is to use 'startxfce4 --with-ck-launch' without manually launching a
session d-bus.
It *should* fix you gnome-terminal issue. At least here i have no issue,
but using slim instead of xdm.
Also, why not just using xfce4-terminal ? :)
