October GNOME and later default gnome-terminal to NOT write to utmp and
wtmp for some strange reason. If you're booting into runlevel 5, you may
not have any recorded logins, so of course you won't get anything useful
out of utmp or wtmp.
First, delete any copies of utmp or wtmp on your system; they may be
corrupt. Second, do the following:
vi /usr/share/gnome/apps/Utilities/gnome-terminal.desktop
and change the exec line to read:
Exec=gnome-terminal --utmp --wtmp
This will cause all gnome-terminals (unless superceded by a local
copy) to write to the requisite files.
