Public bug reported:

Version details:

Ubuntu karmic (development branch) Release: 9.10
gnome-terminal 26.3.1-0ubuntu1

---
Bug details:

Running "gnome-terminal --help" lists a bunch of options, but two of
them, namely

--load-config=FILE              Load a terminal configuration file
--save-config=FILE              Save the terminal configuration to a file

don't seem to do anything when used and they are not included in the man
page. I wonder if they are still relevant as gnome-terminal uses gconf
to save config data?

If they are still supported then the correct usage could be explained in
the man page, or if not they shouldn't be dumped out by a --help.

Happy to make the changes subject to confirmation by someone who knows
what should be happening :)
