Dumb gnome terminal question.

I've searched and searched but either I'm not using the right key words or the information isn't in print anywhere.

I'm running Cent 5.3 and I have a number of terminal profiles setup to ssh into some of my Unix servers at work, what I'm trying to do is setup shortcuts on my desktop to those terminal profiles so when I open one, it launches the exact profile I have associated with that terminal session.

Under the terminal properties there is a tab labeled "launcher" that contains a line that by default reads "gnome-terminal". I know this is where I'm suppose to enter the command sequence for the profile I want to launch but for the life of me I cannot remember what that command sequence is nor can I find any documentation on it.

I'm starting to lose hair and sleep trying to figure this out...any help is appreciated.
