I found it and had trouble with it. But you are essentially right — I put into it the command .gnome/startup and then created a shell script of the same name.
Now I just have to figure out how to get the gnome-terminals not to come back in the next session, but that shouldn't be too hard.

It is not quite that simple. The gnome terminals have a memory that is outside of saving the session, but it doesn't quite work [they randomly forget size or placement]. I want to set up an environment with an assortment of different gnome terminals with different geometries at each startup [among other things].
I figure to start them at startup and have them die at logout. Saving a blank session doesn't help since the next time you log in and log out without exiting each and every gnome terminal [which I don't want to have to do] the nuisances remember to come back next time even though the session was not explicitly saved.
I guess I will end up doing something like overwriting .gnome/session during logout. Maybe during logout I should also delete all those gnome-terminal-XXXXXX files cluttering up the place.
