Description Miguel de Icaza 2002-05-24 17:14:46 UTC 
The gnome-terminal program should allow the user to control when launching
whether the terminal will be a login terminal or not (the --login and
--nlogin switches).
Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2002-05-24 18:33:27 UTC 
Done via profiles.
Comment 2 Miguel de Icaza 2002-05-24 18:48:36 UTC 
This is a problem because now you have to log into a freshly installed
machine before you can say `nologin', and to make things worse, it is
not uniform across user settings.

If I define my profile, it wont work for others.

Every terminal program has this feature.
