In f16, if I open a terminal session when one is open, it just switches

open a session from the running session, I then had warnings when
closing the starting session.

I just want to open lots of session....

help?

Screw the designed-by-a-committee-of-clueless-usability-"experts" Gnome 3. You just need to flip a few toggles to restore some Gnome 2-like sanity, in three easy steps:

Step 1: Install gnome-tweak-tool, if not already installed

Step 2: Run it. Open the "Desktop tab". Turn on the "Have file manager handle the desktop" switch (that is, after you figure out which one of the two confusing icons means that the switch is on, and which one means it off).

Step 3: For the last time, open a terminal window the Gnome 3 way, and execute:

cp /usr/share/applications/gnome-terminal.desktop $HOME/Desktop


The end: you'll now have a terminal icon on your desktop. Each time you double-click on it, you'll get a new terminal window.
