I had a look at the source code for gnome-terminal. gnome-terminal is setting the HOME environmental variable as well as some other variables. This explains why it's working fine with -display. I'll work on a patch for that.
Thanks, Mohammed.I don't know if it makes a difference, but I'm quite sure I didn't have this problem on another unstable machine. The machine which is having the problem was recently installed from scratch; the other machine had been running unstable for a couple of years, and had also been installed from scratch.
Just can't figure out why the problem exhibited itself on one machine more readily than another.
