embedded terminal uses different $PATH variable

[marcvangend]

In my usual terminal, when I type 'echo $PATH', it get '/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games'. In a Nautilus Elementary embedded terminal, the same command returns '/usr/bin:/bin:./usr/local/bin:/bin'. Is this by design, or is there a logical explanation? To me, it's annoying and confusing.
