adding gnome-terminal profiles automatically

[Hamish <captainmish gmail com>]

Hello
I would like to add some profiles to gnome-terminal from old kde konsole 
desktop files. Each profile will be exactly the same as the default 
profile, apart from using a different custom command instead of the 
default shell (eg ssh joe bloggs com). I have hunted for how to do this 
using gconftool-2, but have only found how to change existing profiles, 
not *add new ones*.
Could someone point me in the right direction? The end goal is to write 
a little bash script that can feed a list of custom commands to 
gconftool-2 and make a new profile for each one.
Thanks,
