[Bug 1132700] Re: gnome-terminal >= 3.7 requires sourcing of vte.sh login script
Great, thanks!
While we're at it, could you please make sure to upgrade to vte-0.36.3
and gnome-terminal-3.12.3?
Both contain important bugfixes, especially gnome-terminal-3.12.3 fixes
a nasty crash that happens relatively often.
We're talking about minor version numbers here, it should be as easy as
bumping the version number.

Title:
gnome-terminal >= 3.7 requires sourcing of vte.sh login script
Status in GNOME Terminal:
Won't Fix
Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
As of gnome-terminal 3.7.0, it is required to add the following to
PS1 to get the usual behaviour where a new terminal opens with the
current working directory of the terminal you activated it from.
export PS1='\[$(__vte_ps1)\]'$PS1
gnome-terminal devs suggest to put this in .bashrc, however since this
basically causes a regression, it would make sense to deal with it at
a distro level and perhaps include it in the system bash scripts or
similar.
The actual change was made in libvte so this may potentially affect
any application that uses that library.
As a side note: __vte_ps1() is provided by /etc/profile.d/vte.sh,
which is installed by libvte, however atleast on my system this script
is not getting sourced at login for some reason.
