Terminal will not run

[Ben Edwards]

When I try to run the standard terminal it just comes up on the taskbar,
vanishes and nothing happens.

When I try gnome-terminal from a xterm window I get:-

mythtv at chomsky:~$ gnome-terminal
The program 'gnome-terminal' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 109 error_code 2 request_code 78 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Any ideas?
