Jaunty beta.

affects me too, both if I run it with sudo and if I run it remotely with ssh:

$ sudo gnome-terminal
[sudo] password for paolo:
Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting.

$ ssh -Yf paolo gnome-terminal
paolo@paolo's password:
paolo@parroco:~$ Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting.

Notably the issue is only with gnome-terminal. All other applications run well in both situations.

Also when local pc = intrepid, remote = jaunty : running gnome-terminal with ssh => the same error
