* An ongoing debate between Nicholas Boel and Ben Ritchey rages on ...   
      
    NB> I think running gnome-terminal with the --window --maximize (or   
    NB> --maximized, I forget) should do the trick for starting the   
    NB> application's window maximized when you load it up.   
      
   Ok, my final solution was to mod the perl script for the exec gnome-terminal   
   and added '--maximize --command mc'. To be safe I created a new perl command   
   script with my own name using the new options (left original as is). tyvm
