DESCRIPTION

Clicking link in Menu for Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal)
or CTRL-SHIFT-N or CTRL-SHIFT-T in an existing terminal window result in
a terminal window popping up *very* briefly, then crashing/disappearing.

NO message, no output, no error is generated.

I did have gconfd-2 crash on me earlier with the mesage

"GConf error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible
causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you
have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See
http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1: Could
not send message to GConf daemon: Process /usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconfd-2
exited, reason unknown)"

I had to forcibly reset the computer to get back control. I do not know
if that was related to this current problem, especially since when I had
that problem, all GTK apps started failing. Now, the problem appears to
be confined to gnome-terminal only.
