gnome-terminal can still open multiple tabs. I use xfce4-terminal, but
I think the same command will work with gnome-terminal:

xfce4-terminal --geometry=80x28 -e "sh -c 'sleep 2;mc'" \
--tab --title=top -e top \
--tab -e mutt \
--tab -e "mutt -z -f=logcheck" \
--tab --title=slrn -e slrn \
--tab --title=syslog -e "less --follow-name +F /var/log/syslog" \
