Setting gnome-terminal Default Profile

After creating a few gnome-terminal profiles to set different foreground/background colors for different types of terminals, I found that newly-created gnome-terminals would use the profile I created last rather than the original one now misleadingly named "Default".

My friend showed me how to fix this: This is one of the gnome-terminal commands that is only available through the menubar. Right-click in window, select "Show Menubar". Under the "Edit" menu, select "Profiles...". Then you can select from the pulldown titled "Profile used when launching a new terminal". Whew.
