Public bug reported: After upgrading from Ubuntu 17.04 to 17.10, I get a warning about that option -e is deprecated when starting gnome-terminal from the command line. For example, assume I want to open a gnome-terminal with two tabs, and running separate commands in each tab:
 $ gnome-terminal --tab --active -e 'bash -c "echo Hello; exec bash"' --tab -e 'bash -c "echo Hello2; exec bash"' Option “-e” is deprecated and might be removed in a later version of gnome-terminal. Use “-- ” to terminate the options and put the command line to execute after it. Option “-e” is deprecated and might be removed in a later version of gnome-terminal. Use “-- ” to terminate the options and put the command line to execute after it. But how can I run separate commands for each tab if I am supposed to use -- to terminate the options? For example, the following does not work:  $ gnome-terminal --tab --active -- bash -c "echo Hello; exec bash" --tab -- bash -c "echo Hello2; exec bash" It just opens a single tab.
