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.

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.
** Changed in: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: terminal => gnome-terminal
Status: Needs Info => Unconfirmed
