Public bug reported:

My system has something strange going on.  I'm unable to start gnome-
terminal.  In journalctl, I see the following cryptic message:

May 29 13:08:38 cerberus org.gnome.Shell.desktop[3960]: # Error
constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0:
Could not connect: Connection refused

If I then try to start it from an existing terminal, I get:

jlquinn@cerberus:~/work/lt-language-pairs$ gnome-terminal
# Error constructing proxy for :1.89:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Could not 
connect: Connection refused
# Failed to use specified server: Could not connect: Connection refused
# Falling back to default server.
# Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: 
Could not connect: Connection refused

This is a somewhat important issue because it will force me to reboot my
machine (or at least GUI) due to the inability to create new terminals.
