  Well in the interim that's would I did. What I initially did was
modify a launcher that Gnome created (it looks a little different from
the one you create yourself). But it insisted on loading the horrible
Gnome terminal, then running the script which called rxvt and midnight
commander. I still don't understand why it insisted upon loading the
Gnome terminal. (One of the great mysteries surrounding Intrepid)

Thanks and cheers
