objectifying gnome-terminal

["Tuomas J. Lukka" <lukka fas harvard edu>]

Are there / should there be plans to make gnome-terminal an object
so that it would be possible to get a new screen in an existing
terminal process from the command line or from another program,
starting at a specified directory, program &c?

I'm volunteering to do this if someone points me to the right
direction and documentation.
