It goes back through the list of function calls. This allows you to
inspect variables, etc.

What would interest me is what the content of R_gnome_userprefs.font
if you go up to #40 (in R_gtk_terminal_new () at terminal.c:112). Just
type 

p R_gnome_userprefs.font

if it's NULL, then we might have a lead on the problem. But Lyndon
Drake is the guy who knows his way around the Gnome stuff, not me.

What is in your .gnome/R.gnome file, by the way?
