Hello,
When I run /usr/bin/gnome-terminal under fc26 (it was fine in fc24) from a gnome-terminal I get:
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused Failed to parse arguments: Cannot open display:
Can I avoid the error ?
Thank

You never give sufficient details for anyone to be of much help.
You don't say how your are starting it or the environment. But you are apparently starting it from a session which has no connection to a DISPLAY.
Example....
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ env | grep DISPLAY DISPLAY=:0
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ /usr/bin/gnome-terminal [egreshko@meimei ~]$ echo $? 0
Starts just fine...
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ ssh meimei Last login: Sun Sep 17 18:29:10 2017 from 192.168.1.18
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ env | grep DISPLAY [egreshko@meimei ~]$
Nothing returned....
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ /usr/bin/gnome-terminal Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused Failed to parse arguments: Cannot open display: [egreshko@meimei ~]$ echo $? 1
Totally expected.

If I set DISPLAY properly DISPLAY=:0 echo $? 0 I get: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyUnable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused Failed to parse arguments: Cannot open display:

How about you provide some useful details about what you are doing? E.g. where are you getting the command prompt from? What user is the display running as? What user are you trying to run the terminal as?
Hello,
As I earlier said, the glitch is solved by using gnome Xorg

Patrick, you can't start a gnome-terminal except as the user that started the gnome session. THAT user "owns" the X server and, unless that user explicitly permits access to the X server (such as "xhost +"), no one else can use it.
If you ran gnome-terminal, then did something like "su -" or "sudo bash -l" in that terminal and subsequently ran "gnome-terminal" from there (e.g. as a different user), then that user does NOT have a gnome-session and can't open the X server. Simply defining the "DISPLAY" variable does NOT tie that user to the gnome session.
In the future, please be EXPLICIT in telling us WHAT you did to arrive at the error(s) you hit. You consistently ask for help without giving us any idea as to what the devil you did in the first place to cause the problem.
