Why doesn't gnome-terminal do this by default, rather than starting a
new copy of gnome-terminal?  Sort of like clicking on the gnome-browser
launcher (on my RedHat system) starts a new netscape "browser", but does
not spawn a new netscape-communicator process.  Maybe I'm missing
something, and this is already an option, but I haven't found anything
to this effect.  Thanks,
