When running the `who` or `w` commands in a gnome-terminal window, it is not shown. Nor can you send a write username [tty] command to the gnome-terminal that is open.
From the gnome-terminal:
~$ w

This seems to be only showing problems in the gnome-terminal. Any other terminal I have tried has worked successfully.
