gnome-terminal can save settings in classes, and a class can be specified on the launch command line. If you want them to open when Gnome starts, add them in the session startup control. > Is it possible > to have an xload app of a given size (or other GUI apps) > and have them appear on various workspaces, or *all* > workspaces?

I think these are not so much Gnome attributes, they belong to the underlying window manager.

A GUI is to the OS what a CPU case is to a motherboard. I am a Gnome fan because it has the potential to bring OSS OSes to the masses. I have always been a Mac fan, and like a well-designed GUI on my workstation. But when I work on my servers I just ssh in and type away.
