You don't need gconf-editor or any other special functions.

Open Terminal.  Right click in the terminal screen and choose
Profiles, Preferences.  Then you can switch a number of options such
as the default size, font, etc., and you can either use these as the
default profile, or you can make additional profiles for different
kinds of terminals.
