Funny, I learned about passing xterm a command to execute from your

Well that's good to hear. :) The -e switch works with gnome-terminal
too, incidentally.
Remember the our goal is to improve the performance of the Linux
Desktop, not to be correct every single time.
True, being correct every single time doesn't hurt either. :)
PS I learned today that gnome actually uses gnome-terminal rather
than
xterm.
It does, and it definitely could stand some performance improvements. I
don't think it's _vastly_ slower than xterm (once it's started), but it
does often get in the way.
I think it was Warren who mentioned that he has to minimize
gnome-terminal when he's doing a noisy compile otherwise it
significantly slows down. That's certainly true for me too (although I
just toggle to another tab), but I'm not sure if the real problem is
with gnome-terminal, pango, or the underlying font system -- or perhaps
at layers even lower than that, like really bad or non-existent Render
support in the video driver.
