Thanks -- that works for clicking on the menu item or launcher. But I 
more often start apps by hitting Alt-F2 to use the 'Run Application' 
dialogue. There surely must be somewhere where I can set a true default 
for gnome-terminal, which will take effect whatever means I use to 
launch the app, and not rely just on command-line options?
