I get it simply with

gksu gnome-terminal

the error happens after the authentication dialog.

> (gksu:9543): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_x11_atom_to_xatom_for_display: assertion 
> `atom != GDK_NONE' failed

is repeated four times.
Subsequent repeats of the command give no authentication dialog (fair enough), 
no error messages and no root gnome-terminal, just silent failure.

My laptop does not need to be in dual-head mode to reproduce, but xorg.conf has 
this:
