Good night: I would say that the 3.10.1-1 version still has the bug. Thank you. A greeting.

Bug#712104: gnome-terminal: gksu gnome-terminal doesn't start in certain conditions
Something that might shed light on this bug: From a normal terminal (or from ALT+F2) do: gksu xterm It starts up xterm without any issues. Then from the xterm window do gnome-terminal The following error message comes up: Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process /usr/lib/gnome-terminal/gnome-terminal-server exited with status 1 Unsetting the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS does nothing to eliminate the problem.

Bug#712104: Fwd: Bug#712104: gnome-terminal: gksu gnome-terminal doesn't start in certain conditions
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.

Bug is still there. gksu isn't updated only gnome-teminal and gnome-terminal-data was updated from 3.4* to 3.8*. gksu version was and still is 2.0.2-6. Thank you for your's interest.
