I see you aren't using systemd, so I can't ask you to look for warnings
in the Journal. I assume you don't have dbus-user-session installed either.
Please try running
/usr/lib/gnome-terminal/gnome-terminal-server
in some other X terminal (an xterm or something); then try to start
gnome-terminal from a second xterm. If that fails with similar symptoms,
report any warning or error messages that come from gnome-terminal-server.
If that *doesn't* fail with similar symptoms, the next thing to try is
editing /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.Terminal.service so that the
Exec line reads
Exec=/bin/sh -c '/usr/lib/gnome-terminal/gnome-terminal-server | logger -t
gnome-terminal-server'
Again, try starting gnome-terminal from an xterm, but this time please look in
/var/log/syslog for messages tagged "gnome-terminal-server", and report those.
Regards,
S
