Comment(by devans@…):

 Quick fix committed in r51139. As expected the problem wasn't with gconf
 or actually connecting to it
 but with a precheck gnome-terminal makes to see if gconfd is available
 which always fails.  Comment
 this check out for now and it seems to work.  For instance, I changed the
 profile settings to put the scroll
 bars on the left instead of on the right and then stopped and restarted
 the app.  Scroll bars still on
 the left so gconf correctly saved and restored these preferences.

 Let me know if this works for you as well.

 I know this is quick and dirty but the code describes what they were doing
 as an evil hack so I guess
 everything is even.
