There was an error creating the child process for this terminal

[Clyde E. Kunkel]

Can't start any gnome or kde terminals from gnome desktop after rawhide 
update 20080620.  Get popup msg "There was an error creating the child 
process for this terminal" and a gui box for the terminal but can't use it.

Is there a workaround?  I reverted gnome-terminal, but no joy.

Yeah, a problem with initscripts, it seems.

Either revert to previous version or download initscripts-8.78-1 from koji.

Either works for me.
