Exactly.

I like this.  So `new_terminal' would look at this setting and do the
right job.  

Gnome Terminal can create new terminals from two points:

        1. From the menu, by using `New Terminal'.

        2. When a gnome-terminal contacts a gnome-terminal factory and
           launches a new one.

I think that we should use "tabs" only for case (1), for case (2) we
should always open a new toplevel window.
