go to the control panel, and click on sessions. there should be a tab for startup programs (if you don't see it, then just poke around on that box for a second, its there.)
look and see if gnome terminal or xterm or something similar is listed. highlight it, then click on disable. log out, then back in, and see if it helps. also, if something goes wrong, you can always just go and enable it again. :-D
