Title: Tab names can't always be set via --title Status in GNOME Terminal: Expired Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gnome-terminal” source package in Lucid: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-terminal If I run gnome-terminal like this: cp ~/.bashrc ~/.bashrc-orig cp /etc/skel/.bashrc ~ gnome-terminal --active --title "Default" --tab --title "Bash" -e "bash" --tab --title "Emacs" -e "emacs" --tab --title "NoRC" -e "bash --norc" The third and fourth tabs show up named correctly, "Emacs" and "NoRC". If I append "unset PS1" to the end of the .bashrc, it makes all the tabs show up properly. Of course, then I only get the default command line prompts in the session. The expected behavior (IMHO) is that if --title is explicitly set on the command line, then it should be used preferentially to the prompt. My use case is I start up gnome-terminal from ~/.xsession pre-seeded with multiple tabs each running a different command, and I like to name each tab to differentiate them.
