Are you meaning that you've found some applications other than the root terminal which undergo this GConf's issue, or that the fact the terminal is unusable affects other activities of yours? Or maybe referring to something you read on other pages about this same bug? Just to know.

The problem is that this affects way more than just gksu gnome-terminal.
It also makes it impossible to do:

$ ssh -Y jaunty_system gnome-terminal

As you can see, where I may launch 12 other terminals or tabs (i.e. from
the New Terminal/Tab menu options) from that one gnome-terminal, using
12 or more ssh -Y commands is simply an unacceptable work-around. I
want the functionality of the gnome-terminal on the remote machine, not
on my local machine.
