This is not a problem of bash behaviour, it's a problem in the command
launcher when you create a shortcut in the environment.

To test it, I created a shortcut with:

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

(attached to the combination ctrl-alt-2)

Then, I hit ctrl-alt-2, a terminal appeared with the python2 interpreter
on it (all ok) but still didn't have the bash environment variables
declared in the .bashrc (wrong, which is what this bug is about).

So, I reopened the bug.

Thanks!

Title:
  Shortcut launcher make bash to not read .bashrc

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

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.
