I often use the profiles feature in gnome terminal to organize all my remote shell accounts. Inside of gnome terminal, you can go to Edit->Profiles to manage your profiles. From there, you can either edit an existing profile or create a new one. Either action will take you to the "Editing Profile" window. Once inside, click on "Title and Command" tab and check the box that says "Run a custom command instead of my shell". You can put your ssh login info inside of the "Custom command" box. An example would be:
ssh -i /home/username/.ssh/id_rsa.1 -p 7822 myuser@myhost.com

It's particularly useful to setup sessions with shared keys so you can just go File->Open Terminal and point to the desired session.
