As far as I can tell by using ps - p $$, lxterminal is already running bash, so adding -e bash shouldn't change anything. Adding the -l make it a login shell, so it sources /etc/profile and then .profile, which sources .bashrc if it exists. Without this change lxterminal runs bash as a non login shell so it sources /etc/bash.bashrc and then .bashrc instead. The /etc/bash.bashrc file setups the command prompt. What I don't understand is why an lxterminal command with no options starts a bash shell, but an lxterminal -l command starts a /bin/sh shell which is actually a dash shell. You end up with no command prompt because it doesn't run /etc/bash.bashrc. There are probably other differences. This is why you added the -e bash option. Anyway this does seem like a better fix, though anything that runs /bin/sh will still have a different PATH without the user bin directory.
