I'm not sure if this is important or not, but thought I'd add just in
case...

I just discovered the problem in Ubuntu Jaunty running Root Terminal,
something I rarely do.  I installed the jaunty-proposed package as
described by Martin, and at first, it gave me a blank screen.  Then, I
noticed that if I resized the window, it would redraw and be OK. This
only happens with the root terminal, run gksu; it seems as if using sudo
from a terminal works OK, and using gksu from a terminal sometimes
worked, I believe (when it didn't re-prompt for the password).

But, I remembered I had tried out a Window Rule using a Compiz  Window
Management plugin that resized gnome terminal windows.  After disabling
this rule, the Gnome terminal worked normally at all times.
