While this message does not provide a solution, at least it seems to imply that it might be an environment issue (some setting local to that installation). That would suggest investigating .bashrc files and other user and system default environment settings. Bash was not the default shell on this test system so I'm going to verify this behaviour on my home system where bash _is_ the default. My brief investigation didn't turn up a specific setting that would be responsible for this in Gnome but I don't have time, here, to investigate extensively. --R
