Problems with new gnome install [SOLVED]

Hello,

I've just installed gnome and I'm experiencing some problems.

Nautilus doesn't respect "Sort foders before files"

Also the terminal won't start:

[mak@myhost ~]$ gnome-terminal
Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.gnome.Terminal exited with status 8
[mak@myhost ~]$ 

Any idea how to fix these errors.

My workaround for the first problem was using gsettings.

higher@rechner:~$ gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences sort-directories-first true
