Unable to run a gnome-terminla as a user

[Mark Cooke <mark extension2 freeserve co uk>]

When ever I try to run gnome-terminal as a user, I get the following in a
error box:

There has been an error while trying to log in

if you are using Linux 2.2.x with glibc 2.1.x, this
is probally due to incorrectly setup Unix98 ptys.

Please read linux/Documentation.Changes for how
to set them up correctly

------------

It works fine as root, but not as a user, so Its a permissions problem
somewhere (hopefully).
I've checked the docs in the /usr/src/linux directory as It mentioned, but
I cannot find any referance to what I would need with this problem.

btw xterm works fine.

Thanks in advance

Mark
