Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

When out of disk space, gnome-terminal forgets its profile settings, reverting 
from my prefered white text on a black background to the opposite. I discovered 
this while fighting with this bug:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mlocate/+bug/371749

Since I am using one big ol' ext4 root, when /var fills up, requests to
write to /home/... fail as well. I have made no (intentional) changes to
my gnome-terminal profile settings in this time. So the question is: why
is gnome-terminal/gconf writing to disk when nothing has changed? And of
course, how do we stop this or at least catch the errors - an old config
is always better than a broken file which reverts to a default config.
