Can you still reproduce the bug? Why targeting unity?

Title:
  Shortcut launcher make bash to not read .bashrc

Status in Unity:
  Incomplete
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I always had  (well, since around Karmic), a shortcut in my
  environment, so when I hit ctrl-alt-2, the following snippet would be
  executed (or very very similar, now adapted to the python 2/3
  duality):

    gnome-terminal -t "Python 2" -x bash -c python2

  As you can see, this opens a terminal (titled "Python 2") which
  executes a bash, that executes python2.

  Why not make gnome-terminal to execute directly python2? Because as
  I'm executing bash, it'd read the .bashrc file that sets the
  PYTHONSTARTUP and PYTHONPATH environment vars. It always worked as I
  just described.

  After I migrated to Quantal this stopped working. It still executes a
  gnome-terminal, ending in the execution of python2 inside it, but
  somehow, the .bashrc file is not executed, as the executed Python
  doesn't have correctly set sys.path.
