Yes, I did that, and the properties were fine.  When I ran the
gnome-terminal(when it broke), the busy icon was running for
several seconds then it vanished. What I was expecting when
I logged in, 4 saved-session gnome-terminal was supposed to
come up, but didnt. It was very strange.  As I replied to
myself as [SOLVED], I mentioned that for some reason logging
into a different user, noticing that gnome-terminal worked, then
logged back as my normal user, all 4 of my saved-session windows
worked again.
