[Solved] Gnome-terminal does not start (fresh install)

Whenever I install gnome-terminal, I have the following message displayed:

(gconftool-2:28984): GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon:/usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message

Then whenever I launch gnome-terminal I have this message:

** (gnome-terminal:1102): CRITICAL **: atk_bridge_adaptor_cleanup: assertion `inited' failed

The problem seems to be related to dbus. I have even tried guake which complains explicitly about "No D-BUS daemon running".

Systemctl is telling me that d-bus is up and running.

Any help appreciated.

Info:
  - Linux arch64-vbox 3.6.9-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Dec 4 08:04:10 CET 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  - systemctl --all | grep error

Solved with the latest dbus upgrade (dbus-core removal)
