Description of problem: When connected from a remote with X forwarded via ssh after typing 'gnome-terminal' I am seeing the following: Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display "localhost:11.0". Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display "localhost:11.0". Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display "localhost:11.0". Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display "localhost:11.0". Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display "localhost:11.0". Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting. and gnome-terminal fails to start. Doing the same with gnome-terminal-2.24.3-1.fc10 or gnome-terminal-2.22.2-1.fc9 from F10 and F9 installations respectively, and logged from the same machine every time, opens respective terminal windows as expected. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-terminal-2.25.5-1.fc11 How reproducible: always Expected results: At least a fallback to some sane defaults if GConf daemon really cannot be contacted.

I'm surprised that this bug is marked as low priority: it breaks some fairly basic functionality used by remote administrators. I'm surprised and disappointed that breaking something so fundamental as this got as far as a Fedora release. For what it's worth, I was able easily to fix this bug with rpm -i gnome-terminal-2.24.3-1.fc10.x86_64.rpm

Bug still present with gnome-terminal-2.26.3.1-1.fc11.i586 Just did a clean install of F11 and with update.
I just upgraded to F11 and am seeing this error in vnc sessions. I did not have this problem in F10.
I upgraded from F9 to F11 (preupgrade), and now cannot connect to F11 using X-Win32 and gnome-terminal command (it works with xterm). Package: gnome-terminal-2.26.3.1-1.fc11.x86_64 Error: Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting. I agree that this should have higher priority.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
The report is still valid for "in distribution" gnome-terminal-2.26.3.1-1.fc11 but it is possible to open accross a network gnome-terminal-2.28.2-1.fc12 and gnome-terminal-2.30.0-1.fc14. No idea about fc13. Anyone?
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
