Title:
  inheriting environmental variables when creating new terminal window
  or tab

Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If I create new terminal using gnome-terminal command (in terminal),
  it inherits environmental variables from the old terminal as any other
  application does. But if I create new terminal using Open Tab or Open
  Terminal, I get a fresh terminal. This is sometimes what I want but
  sometimes not.

  I miss the possibility to copy environmental variables from the old
  terminal to the new one. Option in preferences would be ok. But some
  way to switch the behaviour quickly would be better.

  For user there is no difference between the new window/tab and gnome-
  terminal command. Only the inheriting of environmental variables.

  I also noticed that there is no option to preset environmental
  variables for the terminal. Some combination of Profiles and .bashrc
  file. However this is a different bug but probably connected, so that
  why I'm mentioning it.

  Ubuntu 10.04, GNOME Terminal 2.30.2
