I didn't work, until I caught on the typo (ticks instead of backticks).
Here is the corrected script:
#!/bin/sh
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconfd-2&
gnome-terminal
Now it does indeed work. I can gksudo this script and can also invoke it
remotely.

I just upgraded to Jauunty alpha6 from intrepid. The bug is new.
gnome-terminal opens fine from my user account. However
gksudo gnome-terminal
sudo gnome-terminal
end with just the line:
Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting.
(there was not even a linefeed at the end)
