Subject: gnome-terminal: running terminal as root does not load default settings

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.22.3-3
Severity: normal
My gconf2 libraries were recently updated, and when I am logged in as a normal user and run gnome-terminal as root
(i.e. Applications->Accessories->Root Terminal), the terminal window loads normally, but the default settings (i.e.
background color) are not loaded, and I get the error message pasted below. I can still use the terminal normally.
I do not observe this issue with loading default settings if I run the normal user terminal (i.e.
Applications->Accessories->Terminal). I can replicate this problem on two different machines that were updated
simultaneously.
Error message upon loading root terminal:
Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit,
or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details
- 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application
did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network
connection was broken.)
