This continues to not work for me, and I believe my system is up-to-date Rawhide/koji.

Here is the top of the stack trace I get when running 'gdb gnome-terminal':

ERROR:terminal-app.c:1449:terminal_app_init: assertion failed:
(app->default_profile_id != NULL)

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2011-07-11 20:21:44 UTC
I am seeing the same thing.  There has not been a new gnome-terminal built since April.  What am I missing?

Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2011-07-11 20:24:01 UTC
> gconftool-2 -g /apps/gnome-terminal/global/default_profile
No value set for `/apps/gnome-terminal/global/default_profile'

Comment 6 Tom London 2011-07-12 13:26:45 UTC
Yeah, me too:

[tbl@tlondon ~]$ gconftool-2 -g /apps/gnome-terminal/global/default_profile
No value set for `/apps/gnome-terminal/global/default_profile'
[tbl@tlondon ~]$

Comment 7 Tom London 2011-07-13 13:46:59 UTC
OK, I think I figured out how to dig out of this hole....

Appears that the expected [gd]conf settings 'sort of changed'.

I did the following:

1. cd ~/.gconf/apps
2. mv gnome-terminal gnome-terminal.save
3. logout
4. log back in

gnome-terminal now starts for me. And,

[tbl@tlondon apps]$ gconftool-2 -g /apps/gnome-terminal/global/default_profile
Default
[tbl@tlondon apps]$ 

Joy and bliss.....
