I don't think that's correct at all. I don't run ICE on top of Gnome, and Gnome Terminal launches instantly from ICE and in my opinion has certain advantages. One of the advantages of ICE is that it runs both KDE and Gnome applications without problems. I believe he said he had it installed on RedHat which as far as I know tends to have Gnome as the default desktop, and KDE as the secondary choice. At any rate, I run the Gnome Terminal in conjunction with ICE and think it's great and can see no speed compromise whatsoever.

Joe,
Gnome Terminal has nothing to do with icewm. The only way he could have it is 
if he has gnome installed.
Also, I believe (not sure though) that if you're running icewm NOT on top of 
gnome and use gnome terminal it takes a lot more memory
and time to load because it has to load gnome libs. Point here being that if 
Daniel isn't using gnome he shouldn't run gnome
terminal. He could use xterm or rxvt instead.
