The more I think about it the more unsure I am of where to move this bug to. I'm going to try gnome-terminal to see what they make of it (perhaps its gnome-session related?) but I have speculatively changed the title in case it needs to be marked against the binary drivers.

Setting back to unconfirmed.

hardyn:
Assuming your virtual terminals still work the following could be useful.
1. Switch to a virtual terminal by pressing ctrl-alt-f2. Log in to the terminal.
2. Type
ps auxw | grep '[X]11R6'
. This will show you which X servers your machine is running, Take note of the first number after /usr/X11R6/bin/X (e.g. :0 )
3. Run the following:
DISPLAY=:0 strace -o ~/gnome-terminal-strace.txt gnome-terminal
Where :0 is the X display you wanted gnome-terminal to appear on. After ten seconds press ctrl-c .

The above should make a file called gnome-terminal-strace.txt in your home directory and might be useful for tracking down the problem.
