Comment(by devans@…):

 gnome-terminal updated to 2.26.2 in r51136.  This doesn't make it work any
 better but might as well be working
 with the latest code.

 an experiment: if I launch gconf-editor, then gconfd is launched and stays
 running as long as gconf-editor is open.
 {{{
 devans% ps ax | grep gconf
  5977  ??  S      0:00.71 /opt/local/libexec/gconfd-2
  5974  p5  S+     0:03.02 gconf-editor
 }}}

 Even so, when gnome-terminal is launched in addition, it still behaves the
 same
 {{{
 devans% gnome-terminal
 Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".
 Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting.
 }}}

 So its not because gconfd isn't running apparently.

 Will look at it more in the morning.
