Some additional detail, in case it might be useful:
I can launch gnome-terminal using dbus-launch, but not directly. I can launch
other terminals (Xfce Terminal) without a problem. I include some details
about my system, including locale info, since some people seem to think that is
implicated in some of these problems.
$ gnome-terminal
