Oops - I forgot the attachment. I had been checking the console logs before, and I wasn't seeing any messages other than the gnome-terminal crash log. I must have had something in a funny state, though, since I was experimenting and trying to get this to work. After a reboot, I get this in the console if gnome-terminal fails to launch.

(???) to /Users/jeff/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/gnome-terminal_2010-07-10-212923_MacPro.crash These look like the sorts of messages I was getting before I created .launchd.conf. Do I need to do something else to get the configuration to work? Thanks! Jeff
