have you tried playing with the --login and --nologin options to
gnome-terminal? from man gnome-terminal:
--nologin
This option indicates that the shell started by
Gnome Terminal should not be a login shell but a
regular shell.
--login This option indicates that the shell started by
Gnome Terminal should be a login shell (this trick
is cleverly achieved in the Unix world by running
the shell but telling the shell that its name has
a dash in the front. Very clever).
you might also play with where you put lc_type in conjunction with
these gnome-terminal options.
