It is not a problem of gnome-terminal failing to be installed.

The issue is that secpanel's default configuration specifically uses
"gnome-terminal" as its runtime option. I do not have the Gnome desktop
installed - I have the Mate desktop installed. Hence - "gnome-terminal" is not
installed. This makes secpanel unusable as it attempts to invoke
"gnome-terminal" which doesn't exist.

By changing the secpanel default terminal definition to "mate-terminal", I can
now get the full secpanel functionality without the Gnome desktop.

The suggestions offered were to modify the Makefile to provide a port installer
the option of which terminal application to define for secpanel to use.
