Following the lead from Bhaskar, I get similar results running from
another terminal (guake) -->

robe...@loaner:~$ gnome-terminal --save-config=from-guake
^C
robe...@loaner:~$ cat from-guake 
#Written by GNOME Terminal 2.27.91

[GNOME Terminal Configuration]
Version=1
CompatVersion=1
FactoryEnabled=true
Windows=
robe...@loaner:~$ 

A ^C required to get out, then half a file was written. But it doesn't
look like it's being used -->

robe...@loaner:~$ gnome-terminal --load-config=from-guake
robe...@loaner:~$ 

Though the return is immediate and silent so difficult to tell what's
going on.

I don't understand Bhaskar how this can be considered to be working even
if a couple of lines are written? I'd expect (bearing in mind I've never
touched gnome-terminal code) that the terminal would start and allow
normal operation, then would write out its config to file when exited.
That file could then be referenced with the --load-config switch to
create a new terminal with the same setup.

Again - I'm not sure what the intent of these switches is so that's
probably where it should start (my 2c only). It would be good if someone
who knows would say what the options are supposed to do - if they are
still relevant. Then we can just get on with fixing it to do the right
thing.
