You're absolutely right. I just ran gnome without GDM and
gnome-terminal goes away when the shell exits. I had no problems
before because I had just started using GDM a couple of days ago.

I guess I can do without GDM--it looks really nice, but I'm kind of
resentful of the fact that GDM logins do not show up in utmp. (Not
that it really matters, because this is a single-user workstation, but
it's the principle of things--if I'm logged in, I want to see myself
when I finger the machine.)
