Running 'sudo gnome-terminal' (which is the equivalent) reports
'Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting.' How do I fix this? Is
it some idiotic "security feature"? (I get really steamed when fear
overrides function!)

Workaround: launch a terminal and sudo $favorite_shell
(possibly with a keyboard shortcut)
-------------------
As for your solution not working: my *guess* is that to launch a
gnome-terminal you need some per-user helper program (gconf) which
cannot be run because root has no X session open - and that's a good
thing(tm), beause you don't want anyone else but you to be able to
create/close/modify windows or any other gui object on your screen.
But then again - it's just my guess.
