In GNOME 3.4 gnome-terminal uses gconf to store its settings. In this
version (forgot since when), gconf uses d-bus somehow. As either d-bus
or gconf are not working, gnome-terminal is getting some data it is not
expecting.

Fix the gconf/d-bus issue and gnome-terminal should work. Not sure if
gnome-terminal is supposed to still work even if there is something
wrong with gconf.

For 3.6, the plan is to switch to gsettings (dconf). With gsettings, it
will 100% rely on gsettings to not feed it bad data (gsettings will
check this).
