gnome-terminal (and other gnome apps) fail to start, but used to

I have just rebooted my machine (trying to diagnose something else)
and now I'm finding that gnome-terminal sometimes fails to start.
In fact after starting two or three gnome-terminals no more will
start. I run fvwm2 with a collection of 5 or so gnome-terminals that
are automatically started, it comes up with two or three and then
won't run any more.
Running "gnome-terminal" from the command line just hangs, no
diagnostics, nothing. Similarly for gnome-panel. Other terminals
(xterm etc.) run OK.
I've not changed anything on the system for quite a while, no updates
or anything. I've tried removing and re-installing gnome-terminal, no
help.
So, where should I be looking for a cause, how can I diagnose it?
