[solved] multiple .bashrc files (or I'm looking for a way around it)

I'm playing around with having a transparent terminal on my desktop so it looks like I'm typing directly onto the screen.  This is working with no problems but now I'd like it to run fortune-mod when it's launched. 

I could just put 'fortune' in my .bashrc but I don't want it in other terminals, just this one.

I've tried running terminals with -e and -x but they exit as soon as the command completes.  I don't really care what terminal I use for this, as long as it can run a command when it's launched and not exit (and supports transparency of course)

What am I missing?
