Public bug reported:

After a fresh install (using the netboot install) of the 32-bit xenial
distribution, gnome-terminal fails to launch from the unity launcher, or
from an xterm.

If I try to launch gnome-terminal from an xterm I can read an error
message:

Error constructing proxy for
org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling
StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process
org.gnome.Terminal exited with status 8


Some googling suggests this is because the locale is not properly set.  I have 
re-generated my locales:
