Option to choose profile at startup

Description
Many times, I find myself thinking "I need to fix something on [some remote host] - let's fire up a terminal" which, when done, presents me with the profile set as starting profile. However, this profile is a standard shell on the local box, which means I'll have to open a new tab with a pre-configured ("ssh user@remote.host" as shell) profile if I don't want to type in "ssh user@remote.host" in the local shell.
Suggestion: I think it would be great if you could make gnome-terminal ask which profile to use when starting a new terminal. A concrete implementation would be that in
Edit->Profiles->Profile to use when starting a new terminal
, you could set the Profile to "Ask at startup" in the drop-down box. When set to "Ask at startup", gnome-terminal should present a dialog with a list of configured profiles to choose from.
