While I agree with most of stuff said here, lets not turn this bug into a flame war.

I want to repeat myself, that commenting out this:

in terminal.c:

  /* If the gconf daemon isn't available (e.g. because there's no dbus
   * session bus running), we'd crash later on. Tell the user about it
   * now, and exit. See bug #561663.
   */
  if (!gconf_ping_daemon ())
    {
      g_printerr ("Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting.\n");
      exit (1);
    }

made it work for me
