gnome-terminal has a -x parameter described as follows:
-x, --execute                                   Execute the remainder of the
                                                 command line inside the
                                                 terminal.
For xterm, aterm and konsole the parameter is "-e".

So you'd have to run
	gnome-terminal -e /path/to/the/script

My suggestion is that you check the environment variable "TERM" and compare it 
to an exhaustive list of "known" terminal programs - you could start with the 
above. Then move this list into a properties file, pairing terminal name with 
parameter value, to allow unknown terminals to be easily added.

Or you could just help save the world and fight global hunger.
