> Starting a gnome-terminal from this terminal Even executing "gnome-terminal" from an xterm goes through dbus/systemd. "gnome-terminal" is just a controlling client that asks systemd to start up a server which then displays the window and does all the rest.
Don't ask why the architecture is like this, I don't know. But gnome- terminal definitely doesn't do anything with groups, nor asks dbus/systemd/whatever to tamper with the groups. The issue is probably in systemd, starting up gnome-terminal (and presumably any other app that it starts up) with the wrong groups. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1835224 Title: gnome-terminal drops pam_group config Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: If you use pam_group to add users to a group and open gnome-terminal the dynamic group is lost.
