I do that too. But another technique, especially when I want to alter symbol assignments, is to edit the schematic in nedit and gschem at the same time. This is a little safer, as nedit notices when the file has changed behind its back, gives you a dialog that lets you reload or not. That would be a nice feature for gschem and gattrib. Of course, a "replace symbol" feature in gschem would be nice, too.
