I don't have Red Hat, but all the distros I have seen put the options for an x terminal in a hidden file called .bashrc. It is in your home directory; try

nano .bashrc

Make a copy of it and rename it before you mess with it. Not sure if this affects the terminal that you get if you use Alt-F3.

Try reading the man page for bash. It has allot of good information

man bash

Good luck.
