If I'm running gnome-terminal with multiple tabs open, is it possible to switch the profile of a given tab at the bash prompt, with instant effect, and without altering the profile of the other tabs?
I understand how to use gconftool or gconftool-2 to change elements of a profile (such as the background), but I don't know how to actually switch the profile for a specific tab or window.
Any advice is appreciated.

I think you can do this through gconf-editor which maintains the settings for everything in gnome. See the gconf-editor manual and section on gnome-terminal.
From the terminal, you can make changes with gconftool-2
Hackett : Thanks for the response. I guess my issue is that if I use gconftool-2 to alter the background of 1 tab's profile, this affects the background of all the other tabs too. If I set each tab to use a different profile, then there's no way of each tab knowing which profile its on. A bit of a catch 22 :)Dana the Sane : This kind of thing seems lacking with gnome software, I heard a similar complaint about having separate desktop wallpapers. This might be something that will be fixed eventually due to demand though.
