My guess would be the login-shell-versus-not thing. Maybe he sets up PS1
in his .bashrc, but not his .bash_profile/.profile?

Screen's default is not to spawn login shells (perhaps because it does
utmp-ish stuff itself). Tmux's default is to spawn login shells.

Jean-Yves, try putting "set -g default-command /bin/bash" in your
.tmux.conf. Or, even better, source your .bashrc from within your
.bash_profile or .profile.
