I see you aren't using systemd, so I can't ask you to look for warnings<br>
in the Journal. I assume you don't have dbus-user-session installed either.<br>
<br>
Please try running<br>
<br>
/usr/lib/gnome-terminal/gnome-terminal-server<br>
<br>
in some other X terminal (an xterm or something); then try to start<br>
gnome-terminal from a second xterm. If that fails with similar symptoms,<br>
report any warning or error messages that come from gnome-terminal-server.<br>
<br>
If that *doesn't* fail with similar symptoms, the next thing to try is<br>
editing /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.Terminal.service so that the<br>
Exec line reads<br>
<br>
Exec=/bin/sh -c '/usr/lib/gnome-terminal/gnome-terminal-server | logger -t gnome-terminal-server'<br>
<br>
Again, try starting gnome-terminal from an xterm, but this time please look in<br>
/var/log/syslog for messages tagged "gnome-terminal-server", and report those.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
  S<br>
