Assuming gnome-terminal, I bet if you check "Run command as login shell" in Edit->Profiles->Edit->Title and Command, you'll get what you want. Btw, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is generally not what you want. Unless you are quite careful, it can break the runtime execution of *all* commands. It is only useful to temporarily override the default path, or overcome the shortcomings of a pre-built proprietary binary. If you use LD_RUN_PATH instead, the path will be added to the binary's runtime path and will execute correctly without any env vars.
