AAhhhhh, avoid!!! I remember installing Red Carpet for updating RedHat
(when I was using it) and it caused random problems in gnome-terminal.
After I installed it, I couldn't use gnome-terminal at all. It would
segfault everytime I tried to run it -- and I used gnome-terminal as my
primary terminal in X. I logged a bug report about it, but have heard
nothing since.
While checking up on my bug report though, I found several other
problems the same or very similar to mine, and got a few emails from
people who had similar problems aswell.
