I have also seen this failure and it only occurs during a remote connection.

For me, changing the desktop theme did not allow gnome-terminal to start. I was using "Radiance" when I first encountered the issue. Switching to "Ambiance" did not help.

The problems occur in a remote session, using vncserver, not otherwise.
