I will. It will be a couple of day till I have the next window to do
this (as I am learning bzr etc as I go.)

To regression test this we need to poke a few test values into gconf,
run the gnome-terminal (possibly with --disable-factory to ensure we are
running the copy we think??) and then in the terminal context run a
script to check the env values. I can play with --command or --execute
to get the script to run in the terminal context and I can lookup how to
poke config values into gconf. However I am unfamiliar with the test
harness that this will go into. Can you point me to and existing test I
can emulate?
