I'm sure it can. I know xterm can do it. However, that may not be
sufficient for the original poster. For instance, gnome-terminal itself
will not run with the LD_PRELOAD setting, nor will any other apps
launched via the GNOME menu.

But, I'm just speculating. I dont know what the original poster wants to
use LD_PRELOAD for. The gnome-terminal setting may well be sufficient.
