One time I messed with some of the .gconf folders and inadvertently changed the permissions on them, and so nothing was working. You could *try* this to make sure they are correct:

Thanks,
I've applied your trick and then I've added the dozen of new profiles I
use and I restarted gconfd and it seems to work.
But, since the problem appeared when I rebooted my PC, I will be able to
say that it REALLY works again once I've rebooted again ...
Also, "yum update gnome-terminal" still shows no new version of
gnome-terminal.
Since I have many things to do, I'll wait for a while ... hoping FC4
will provide a new version that definitely fixes this problem.
Thanks for your help!
In case, do you know if there is a way to trace the behavior of Gnome so
that I will produce some more useful information if the problems is
still there after next reboot ?
