I've used XTerm to save the day when I've had GNOME in a very messy state in the past. Yes, I know I'm crazy, but I dont see the harm in letting this one slide.
Then you are not alone :)
The Xterm is necessary, as it doesn't save only GNOME, when time comes, but any desktop.
Surely in the dire eventuality that you somehow manage to destroy your terminal emulator, you can Ctrl+Alt+F2? (Actually I think I've heard of gsettings corruption borking gnome-terminal in 12.3 or maybe 12.2.) But this was more of an idle complaint, though that didn't come out properly in my original email. Xterm is part of the X11 pattern, not the GNOME pattern.
