Launching gnome-terminal from Applications Menu

Sat Jul 10 21:37:11 PDT 2010

Oops - I forgot the attachment.  I had been checking the console logs before, and I wasn't seeing any messages other than the gnome-terminal crash log.  I must have had something in a funny state, though, since I was experimenting and trying to get this to work.  After a reboot, I get this in the console if gnome-terminal fails to launch.

... some more of the same ...

Jul 10 21:29:23 MacPro ReportCrash[451]: Saved crash report for gnome-terminal[441] version ??? (???) to /Users/jeff/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/gnome-terminal_2010-07-10-212923_MacPro.crash

These look like the sorts of messages I was getting before I created .launchd.conf.  Do I need to do something else to get the configuration to work?
	Thanks!
	Jeff

If I try putting it in the Applications menu of X11, though, I can't get it to run.  I've tried specifying the full path in the menu option, and that wasn't any better.
