Terminal does not open anymore in my Ubuntu machine. Kconsole and Xterm do work though. Its just gnome-terminal that is not opening!
I get the following error from GConf (below), when starting gnome-terminal from the Kconsole. Can someone please tell me what is happening?

Thanks in advance.



$ gnome-terminal

Okay, a restart (apparently removed the lock) and solved the issue. But what was happening there?

I found the same issue mentioned here:
