I managed to get some more. When I run gnome-terminal, I do get it on the
screen, but it dies after a fraction of a second. By doing a C-s on the xterm
that invoked it I can freeze it to see what's on it: everything you would
expect from a gnome-terminal, only in place of a friendy sh-prompt I get:

Could not exec
: no such file or directory

So I'm assuming it has trouble parsing the command to execute, but does the
call with a zero-length string. I tried --command (downloaded today's
gnome-core from CVS and recompiled, BTW) and I get the same no matter what I
tell it to execute.
