Public bug reported:

If I create new terminal using gnome-terminal command (in terminal), it
inherits environmental variables from the old terminal as any other
application does. But if I create new terminal using Open Tab or Open
Terminal, I get a fresh terminal. This is sometimes what I want but
sometimes not.

I miss the possibility to copy environmental variables from the old
terminal to the new one. Option in preferences would be ok. But some way
to switch the behaviour quickly would be better.

For user there is no difference between the new window/tab and gnome-
terminal command. Only the inheriting of environmental variables.

I also noticed that there is no option to preset environmental variables
for the terminal. Some combination of Profiles and .bashrc file. However
this is a different bug but probably connected, so that why I'm
mentioning it.

Ubuntu 10.04, GNOME Terminal 2.30.2
