[Impact]

If you launch gnome-terminal by right clicking a directory in Nautilus, selecting "Open in Terminal", you get a fully functional terminal window.

If you then press the new tab button, or ctrl-shift-t to open a new terminal tab, you will find that most environment variables have become unset, and you see the text:

To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
See "man sudo_root" for details.

Comparing printenv between:

Normal terminal: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2hcCY9hbHQ/
Broken new terminal tab: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zYsjRHVJH7/

Most commands won't run in the new terminal tab, due to $HOME and $USER not being set.

Note, if you launch gnome-terminal from gnome-shell or the dock, and create a new tab, everything works perfectly. Is something wrong with the Nautilus option for "Open in Terminal"?
