gnometerminal tabwithprofile option dont work

I would say it's a bug.

When you open a new terminal window, then the tab #1 is implisitt (the window itself is a tab). You see it when you open tab #2 from the menu.

Anyway $ gnome-terminal --tab-with-profile=Default should perform what the man-page says.

So it's a bug.

--------------------------------- If you're interested in the code, download it from "src-terminal.c" file.

$ cd yourpath-gnome-terminal-2.11.3-src $ gedit terminal.c

And look for "parseoptionscallback" function.

{ ensuretopwindow (results); }

..... .....

case OPTIONTAB: case OPTIONTABWITHPROFILE: case OPTIONTABWITHPROFILEID: { InitialWindow *iw; InitialTab *it; const char *profile;

profile = NULL; else if (arg == NULL) { gprinterr (("Option"%s-" requires an argument specifying what profile to use-n"), "--tab-with-profile"); exit (1); } else profile = arg;

{

etc.. -----------------------------

Do .-configure just once. $ .-configure

$ Edit the file. $ make

DO NOT 'make install'. Just run it like $ .-gnome-terminal --optionsoptionsoptions

Compilation requires quite a few dependencies. apt-cache search libglade apt-cache search libgnomeui apt-cache search libstartup-notification apt-cache search gnome-vfs etc.
