OK, so this is a regression too :) but much less user-visible for most
users.

The gnome-terminal 1.9.0 separated out from gnome-core doesn't appear
to support --use-factory. gnome-terminal --usage reports:

Usage: gnome-terminal [-?e] [--usage] [--window-with-profile=STRING]
        [--tab-with-profile=STRING]
[--window-with-profile-internal-id=STRING]
        [--tab-with-profile-internal-id=STRING] [--show-menubar]
        [--hide-menubar]

This means the terminal icon on the panel and panel menus no longer
functions.

When implementing this, I'd like to do it a bit differently than 
old gnome-terminal; namely I'd like to forward more of the command
line args and certain pieces of the environment (similar to those ssh
forwards) from the --use-factory invocation to the factory process.

fixed in CVS modulo actually using the forwarded command line
arguments :-)

So should this actually be closed until the fixes are accesible from
the CLI? Or am I missing something? :)

reopen to track finishing the feature

We can punt this bug by just disabling the factory/server feature, 
if we have to.

*** Bug 81191 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

*** Bug 81642 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Fixed in CVS - again again, but this time I implemented all the arg
re-parsing etc. etc.

I tested terminal with the source taken from CVS head on "15th July" 
and I found when I used "-e" or "-x" commandline options, I am 
getting an error as :

There was an error creating child process for this terminal Error:0

I gave the following command:

gnome-terminal --command="ls /etc"

I tested this on Solaris Sparc 5.9.

Do we need to reopen this bug?.
