RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2011:1205 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE nautilus-open-terminal bug fix update 2011-08-24 10:55:30 UTC

Description D. E. Evans 2010-10-06 03:49:50 UTC 
Description of problem:
Nautilus open-terminal hard sets $SHELL -l/-i in nautilus-open-terminal.c

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.17

How reproducible:
This is a known bug (see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602141)

Steps to Reproduce:
An easy test is to set ssh-agent in .bash_profile.  Then launch gnome-terminal via nautilus-open-terminal.  This will launch the ssh-add request for SSH identify passphrase.
  
Actual results:
.bash_profile sourced

Expected results:
/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/login_shell should govern the behaviour, not be hard coded.

Additional info:
This appears to have been fixed in 0.18.  A similar discussion was had here: <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-open-terminal/+bug/448337>.

ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.
