In some modern shells you can turn that off (I don't myself) or require
more than one ^D to convince the shell you really meant it. And you can
tell some terminal emulators (dunno about gnome-terminal) to not close
when the running process exits. It won't save your shell but it will
keep the terminal around for inspection.
