I find if I set the # of Scrollback display lines to less than the height of the screen (e.g. 1) that this effectively disables scrollback. My mouse doesn't have a mousewheel, so I can't test in your situation exactly, but the scrollbar doesn't let me scroll when I set lines to 1. > On a somewhat related note, in the "Title and Command" dialog I have > configured a Custom command and selected "Run a custom command instead > of my shell".

Have you checked "man gnome-terminal" to see if there is an option like --execute you could try? Also --disable-factory might be useful to play with. By default gnome-terminal runs as a single process and when you try to launch another terminal, it just signals the main process to launch another window. This feature might not be working with what you are trying to do, so always running gnome-terminal with --disable-factory might make a difference. Brian
