[Bug 759463] [NEW] Terminals opened via “Open a terminal” keybinding in gnomecompat plugin lack environment vars from gnome session

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

If I run a terminal via Alt-F2, “gnome-terminal”, <enter>, then I get a
fully functional terminal prompt.  The environment in the resulting
shell contains variables like SSH_AUTH_SOCK, GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL and
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS.

If I run a terminal via Ctrl-Alt-T, which is the default keybinding for
the “Open a terminal” feature of the gnomecompat plugin, then I get a
subtly broken shell, lacking environment variables that allow me to use
my SSH private keys, etc.
