[SOLVED] Gnome 3.12 : gnome terminal does not run anymore

I had the following message when trying to run gnome-terminal after updating to 3.12:

Error creating terminal: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)

I have found a fix, so I'll share it with the community. The problem was that I had vte3-mosh-fix installed from the aur, version 0.34.9 and that gnome-terminal now requires vte3 0.36.0.

Switching to the official vte3 package fixes the issue.

Thank you for posting the solution.  I would have never even remembered that I had installed that mosh fix, let alone thought to remove it.
