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.
Oh, sorry for not including that. This is current jaunty with latest
gnome-terminal up to date yesterday:
gnome-terminal:
Installed: 2.24.1.1-0ubuntu2
Candidate: 2.24.1.1-0ubuntu2

Thank you for reporting this behavior. What version of Ubuntu are you using, and which version of gnome-terminal?
Thanks!
