Yes gnome-terminal uses a systemd --user service to start a terminal-server. This terminal-server is the parrent of all shells in a gnome-terminal for this user. The problem is systemd --user services are designed as per-user service not per-session[0]. As I understand the Mailinglist, there ar no plans to change this. So a systemd --user service isn't the right tool for this architecture of a terminal and for any other programm which should belong to a session. Thats why I say it's a bug in gnome-terminal not in systemd. That systemd has no per-session services is an other problem.
