gnome-terminal appears to inherit the parent process's home directory. If I launch gnome-terminal from another terminal window, the new shell's initial directory is the parent's. Curiously, the shell's parent process is gnome- terminal-server, whose current directory is $HOME. going on.
The likely explanation is that I'm launching new gnome-terminal session from a desktop icon (since Gnome 3's brain damaged "Activities" screen always moronically activates one of the existing terminal windows, instead of creating new terminal session), and I see that the nautilus process's home directory is /, I guess that's what's going on, but I still just want to have my new shells come up in $HOME by default.
