Description Xin.Sun 2008-04-18 03:04:24 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When you execute "gnome-terminal --tab-with-profile=test_profile" command in terminal,a new tab in sub window can not be opened. 

Steps to reproduce:
1.Open a terminal window.
2.Create a new profile for example test_profile. 
3.Select "Terminal"->"Change Profile" -> "test_profile".
3.Run "gnome-terminal --tab-with-profile=test_file" command in terminal.


Actual results:
A new window is opened with the selected profile.

Expected results:
A new tab sub window in the gnome terminal opened with the selected profile.

Does this happen every time?
Every time this happens.

I do not believe this is a dupe of 412063, which is invalid.  I can confirm this bug with gnome-terminal 2.22.1 on Ubuntu 8.04.  According to gnome-terminal --help:

--tab-with-profile=PROFILENAME
Open a new tab in the last-opened window with the given profile.

Actual results are that a new window is opened, so basically it works identically to --window-with-profile=PROFILENAME when only used once.  Using it multiple times does indeed create new tabs in the newly opened window.

The man page description leaves out a few key words:
Open a tab in the window with the given  profile.

So perhaps the intended function has changed and just the descriptions need to be updated?  Personally I hope not, as it seems like a useful feature to have.
