gnome-terminal in i3

Hi. I am trying to use gnome-terminal on i3 but I can not start it as my own user.

gnome-terminal

yields

** (gnome-terminal:4403): WARNING **: Couldn't register with accessibility bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
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 10

Running it as root works fine though. Is there any workaround for this?
Thanks

Try

$ dbus-launch gnome-terminal

Edit: Moving to "Applications and Desktop Environments".

Did it work? If yes, then please mark the thread as solved by editing your first post and adding [solved] to the thread title.

dbus should be started automatically by systemd as a --user .service.

@OP: How are you starting i3?

Also, why the hell would you want to use GNOME terminal in i3?

So, change the shortcut for launching a terminal accordingly.
