The issue here would be gnome-terminal. It uses a daemon interface,
where running gnome-terminal activates a terminal server over D-Bus;
if it discovers a running terminal server for the current user, it
will create a new terminal using that daemon, even if it runs on a
different display. Using other clients shouldn't show this problem.

Cheers,
