Public bug reported:

If the system theme is changed, gnome-terminal does not immediately
change.  Changes take effect only when the window receives focus.

This is unlike much of the rest of the system.  For example, side-bar
icons and window borders change immediately.

Ideally gnome-terminal would respond as well, so you can see the effects
of different themes when trying one after another.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1.  Open a gnome-terminal. 
2. Terminal->Change Profile->Default (if necessary)E
3. Edit->Profile Preferences->Colors and check "Use colors from system theme"

4. Open system Appearances (WindowsKey->Appearances) in the "Look" tab:
5. Set theme to Ambiance (default) if necessary
6.   Give the terminal focus; it should get a purple background
7. (back to Appearances window) CHange Theme to "High Contrast"

EXPECTED RESULT:  Terminal background changes immediately to the high-
contrast theme's white background

ACTUAL RESULT: Terminal background does not change, although the window
border does change
