If I am in one gnome-terminal and I define CVSROOT, and export it, when I open another gnome-terminal (from the first), I dont see CVSROOT (using set). However, if I open an xterm (from the first) I do see CVSROOT. Does anyone know why the second gnome-terminal doesn't inherit the exported CVSROOT, while xterm does? <<
If you use pstree, you'll be able to see why: there's only *one* gnome-terminal process, and the two windows are simply sibling copies of bash. Since the second copy of bash is not a descendant of the first, then it won't have inherited the shell variables.
