This reply is being typed in gnome-terminal :)  I opened it from the
menu (in an xfce desktop).  No issues here.

I'll try to see what the problem is. Do you get any output if you just type gnome-terminal from another terminal's command line?

I do note that in the System menu, I have:

Konsole (from kde4)
Konsole (from kf5)
LxTerminal
Terminal
XFCE Terminal

I then went into gnome-terminal.desktop and manually changed to:

Name=Gnome Terminal

We probably ought to do that in the book.

When I try the gnome terminal from the xfce system menu, I get nothing. I can't find any messages about it either.

If I run, gnome-terminal --help, that works, so there is probably some configuration issue on my end.

network-manager-applet: comes up but doesn't do anything.  I've been testing
wicd and I may not have network manager set up properly.

I built it, but AFAICS there is no program, only an xdg autostart
file.

It should install nm-connection-editor.  That's what I tested.

I do have an icon with a tool tip that says "Networking Disabled", but I still need to de-conflict with wicd.
