Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.26.2-2
Severity: minor
The man page states:
When you start GNOME Terminal, the application starts the default
shell that is specified in your system account.
However, this is only true if the environment variable SHELL is empty or
unset. Otherwise, gnome-terminal starts the shell specified by the
SHELL variable.
