This isn't directly what you are asking for, but it solves your
problem a little different way.
A program called `xbindkeys' is available online in rpm format (google
for it). It allows you to easily bind keyboard combinations to run
applications.
For example you could set `C + g' to start gnome-terminal.
In xkeybinds rc file (~/.xbindkeysrc) you'd set the command line
parameters you like. Then pressing C-g will start an gnome-term with
those parameters.
I use key combos for nearly everything I normally open or start. Very
fast and handy.
One thing you must do is run the command `xbindkeys' whenever you
enter X desktop. There are many ways to do that. I use kde but I
think gnome has an autostart feature too where you can list things you
want done when opening your desktop. There you would list `xbindkeys'.
