greetings, I noticed the other day that some of the settings I configured in my ~/.bash_profile aren't implimented when using the gnome-termianl. For the most-part, it's not too big a deal; some of it just aliases system admin stuff that I do from the text consoles (tty1-6) anyhow.
Just for curiousity, i poked around the wiki and the various settings areas on my computer (/etc, /usr/share and such) trying to find if the gnome-terminal had it's own set of configuration files. Does anybody know where i should look to find howto customize the start-up behavior for gnome-terminal? Also, is it normal for gnome-terminal to not read ~/.bash_profile, even if the default shell is bash?

Yeah, I had the same issue... But it is easy to fix:
Open terminal -> 'Edit' menu -> Profile Preferences -> Title and Command tab -> Tick "Run command as a login shell" check box

You could also set things in .profile instead? I've read before that this is the 'proper' way to put env stuff etc.
i could be wrong, as i've heavily customized these scripts, but i believe by default the only thing .bashrc does (in arch) is source .bash_aliases if it exists; so put aliases there.
take a look at:
/etc/profile* /etc/bash* ~/.profile ~/.bash*
they contain everything you need to know. for example, you can create an /etc/bash.bashrc.local that will be sourced if it exists. i use this to add gentoo style colors and prompts, export stuff, and increase the bash_history from 1,000 to 10,000 (i hate retyping stuff :-)

How big is .bash_history for you? =)
