Reason for closing: Won't implement
Additional comments about closing: gnome-terminal needs the gconf schema files from libgnome to be installed. Without them, gnome-terminal won't start unless a different font has been chosen. Upstream will have to fix this before dropping libgnome from the platform completely.

libgnome contains schemas for fonts and such and as long as gnome hasn't moved those things to other locations, gnome-terminal will break on installations where the libgnome schemas haven't been registered
use for testing: gconfpkg --uninstall libgnome and try to run gnome-terminal
$ gnome-terminal
