[The D-BUS error translates (approximately?) to "The GConf-server
is about to shut down")
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).
This affects other GConf based apps, too.

Configuration server couldn't be contacted:
D-BUS error: The GConf daemon is currently shutting down.
Typically, the apps really just try to get/set some gconf value and
that fails (Python gconf based apps crash with GError, for instance).
They would need to try harder, sleep some time, then try again, but
that wouldn't help either if gconf daemon has crashed. Some users
report that they restart the daemon to make apps work again.
gconfd is to blame then. I'll just try some of the suggestions if(when?)
it happens again.
Thank you, both, for the answers!
