Running gnome-terminal gives me the following error:
Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: Timeout was reached
When I check the system logs, I see the following messages:
Jan 25 19:41:51 ananda-arch gnome-terminal-server[3841]: Locale not supported.
Jan 25 19:41:51 ananda-arch systemd[3405]: gnome-terminal-server.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=9/n/a
Jan 25 19:41:51 ananda-arch systemd[3405]: gnome-terminal-server.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Jan 25 19:41:51 ananda-arch systemd[3405]: Failed to start GNOME Terminal Server.
When I run "localectl list-locales", the output is "en_US.utf8". Accordingly, my /etc/locale.conf is "LANG=en_US.utf8"
/etc/locale.conf has just one entry uncommented: "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8"
$ locale
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=es_US.UTF-8
LC_TIME=es_US.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=es_US.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=es_US.UTF-8
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT=es_US.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
So, everything is US. Now, where is the problem?

There are a lot of es_US.UTF-8 in that locale output, it stands to reason that you likely want to uncomment es_US.UTF-8 in your /etc/locale.conf as well and rerun locale-gen

Thanks a lot, V1del. I went to Gnome -> Region & Language settings, and the region was set to United States. But I nevertheless selected US again, and when I restarted the gnome session, the locale was fine.
[sanjay@ananda-arch ~]$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
And now the terminal works fine. Thanks a lot for your help!

Had the same error message, but locales are not my issue
gnome-terminal works with
dbus-launch gnome-terminal
or
use
dbus-update-activation-environment --all
in your .xinitrc
