I've also experienced an improvement in usability assigning a different color and icon to a server or group of servers. After a while, you can quicly identify which server are you connected to with just a glimpse of the screen.
But this has a drawback, the only way to open a terminal is from another terminal unless you've already created launchers for the specific profiles.
To provide a cleaner solution. I've create the gnome-terminal-launcher applet that reads the profiles from GConf and creates the corresponding menu entry to invoke the gnome-terminal command and its arguments.
Despite the fact that it is a work in progress and some other features will be added in next releases, it is very helpful now for the administrator's toolbox.

I read the blog post as well as the wiki. While you do mention http://dtmilano.blogspot.com/2006/06/gnome-terminal-enhancements.html how to set things up, you haven't given any clue how to link it up with different servers or what else can be achieved. Gconf2-tool is very much intimidating for a new user.
Yes, you are right is not mentioned.
However, these settings can be managed through gnome-terminal profiles and they are explained in its manual.
