Comment(by devans@…):

 I'm seeing the same problem with gnome-terminal but other apps that use
 GConf work correctly.  A good example
 is gconf-editor which allows you to explore the GConf database and change
 preferences if you like.  It works
 fine.  Which means that both dbus and gconf are working ok.  Concerning
 gconfd, it does not run all the time
 but is launched on demand on a per user (session) basis when someone wants
 to connect to it, stays active
 as long as at least one app is connected and then stops after a few
 seconds of no connection.  So you may or
 may not see it by using ps or the like.

 This all leads me to think that is specifically what gnome-terminal is
 doing that the others don't that is
 causing the problem.  So this calls for some debugging/code inspection.
