nope... no goof :) just the default. if you use gnome-terminal or konsole there's options for that too. Not sure why it's not a login shell by default... I can guess that maybe if you have something in the startup files that only get sourced for a login shell (.login, .bash_login, something like that) that you might end up doing things over that you don't want done more than once? But that's a guess of course... maybe someone else has the cluebat handy?
