Public bug reported:

I always had  (well, since around Karmic), a shortcut in my environment,
so when I hit ctrl-alt-2, the following snippet would be executed (or
very very similar, now adapted to the python 2/3 duality):

  gnome-terminal -t "Python 2" -x bash -c python2

As you can see, this opens a terminal (titled "Python 2") which executes
a bash, that executes python2.

Why not make gnome-terminal to execute directly python2? Because as I'm
executing bash, it'd read the .bashrc file that sets the PYTHONSTARTUP
and PYTHONPATH environment vars. It always worked as I just described.

After I migrated to Quantal this stopped working. It still executes a
gnome-terminal, ending in the execution of python2 inside it, but
somehow, the .bashrc file is not executed, as the executed Python
doesn't have correctly set sys.path.
