I think that's a bit of an odd case - gnome-terminal doesn't depend on
libgnome as such, but it depends on the presence of a GConf key which is
created by libgnome. Without it, gnome-terminal can't work out which
font to use.

FYI, in Gnome3, that sort of thing is provided by a new package called
gsettings-desktop-schemas, which *is* a compile-time dependency for a
number of packages.
