gnome2 gnome-terminal for new user

[DooBeDooBeDo]

I added a new user using useradd, created their home directory, and all works fine when logged in and using gnome2 desktop except when I try to start gnome-terminal. The terminal window opens briefly, displays a command not found message (doesn't specify what), then dies.

Has anyone else experienced this?

edit: I forgot to say, I can use xterm no problem.

Me too. I've had this with every install of gentoo.

What are the settings for the user in /etc/passwd?

you have to specify the shell in /etc/passwd for gnometerminal to work
eg. /bin/bash
