If you install and run xterm, then run the command "gnome-terminal"
from the xterm, does that work? Do you see any error messages?

After gnome-terminal fails to start, are there any error messages
related to gnome-terminal, dbus or systemd near the end of
/var/log/syslog?

Are you using GNOME as your desktop environment? If not, which
desktop environment or window manager are you using?

I suspect that this broken locale setup might be related to the problem
with gnome-terminal. Installing the locales or locales-all package,
and/or running "dpkg-reconfigure locales" as root and making sure you ask for
the en_US.utf8 locale, might help.
