Here's my best guess and it's probably right because I've run into this before:
Quicksilver sees Gnome Terminal as a console application since it's not in a bundle, so instead of calling LaunchServices to launch it like you expect, it's telling the shell to run it and then waiting for it to terminate. If you trust me, here's a wrapper app I threw together with Platypus that you can invoke with Quicksilver instead of invoking gnome- terminal directly: <http://is.gd/aUMUW>. If you don't trust me, I'll be glad to show you the script and let you make your own Platypus wrapper. :) The wrapper app will look for gnome-terminal in /sw/bin, /opt/local/ bin and /usr/local/bin by default and launch the first one it finds. If you need it to look somewhere else, you can edit `Info.plist`—there is an Environment Variables section that includes TD_COMMAND, TD_PATH and TD_ARGS. Deleting the TD_PATH variable will cause it to look in your PATH instead. Hope this helps.
