Try this sequence:
1. Start xterm.
2. type "cd /usr/portage/x11-terms/gnome-terminal".
3. "nano files/gconf.patch".
4. Switch to browser, select the lines of the patch (everything from
below the equal-sign-line to html horizontal separator).
5. Middle-click xterm window should paste the patch there.
6. Switch to xterm, Ctrl+O, Enter (Save). Ctrl+X (Quit).
7. "nano gnome-terminal-XXX.ebuild" where XXX is desired version number.
8. Put the following line inside braces below "gnome_src_unpack" line:
epatch "${FILESDIR}/gconf.patch"
9. Ctrl+O, Enter (Save). Ctrl+X (Quit).
10. "repoman manifest".
11. "emerge gnome-terminal"
Congrats, you've created your own patched ebuild ;)
Homework: put it into local overlay so it won't be wiped on sync.
