Fresh install via kickstart. I reformatted the root and /boot
partitions, but left one user partition untouched.

I don't think this is possible since I reformatted the root partition
(I only have /, /boot, and /scratch partitions in addition to a swap
partition).

The process ends without leaving a trace unfortunately (at least that
I can find). I did have an strace running on one system attached to
the gnone-terminal process and it finally died after 5 days or so.
Here are the last 20 lines from the log:
open("/usr/share/X11/XErrorDB", O_RDONLY) = 27
fstat64(27, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=37949, ...}) = 0
read(27, "! $Xorg: XErrorDB,v 1.3 2000/08/"..., 37949) = 37949
close(27) = 0
write(2, "The program \'gnome-terminal\' rec"..., 592) = 592
close(18) = 0
kill(15700, SIGTERM) = 0
writev(14, [{"GIOP\1\2\1\5\0\0\0\0", 12}], 1) = 12
close(14) = 0
writev(15, [{"GIOP\1\2\1\5\0\0\0\0", 12}], 1) = 12
close(15) = 0
writev(13, [{"GIOP\1\2\1\5\0\0\0\0", 12}], 1) = 12
close(13) = 0
writev(11, [{"GIOP\1\2\1\5\0\0\0\0", 12}], 1) = 12
close(11) = 0
close(9) = 0
close(8) = 0
unlink("/tmp/orbit-kb12698/linc-3d51-0-2491c193d89b6") = 0
close(12) = 0
exit_group(1) = ?
Is there a better way than strace to get some information on this crash?
