Prompt not quite right in gnome-terminal

When I run a gnome-terminal, I do not get the same prompt I have when at a console prompt before starting X until I source /etc/profile.

This is an example:

When you have just logged in, and you have the unhappy prompt, what does "echo $SHELL" say? Does your user have a login shell? It's the last field in /etc/passwd, and you can use the chsh utility or "usermod -s" to set it.

Yep, it is /bin/bash

What is the version of baselayout? Try searching for "gnome-terminal and profile" for perhaps some similar threads.

Is this what you are looking for?
sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.5.3

I will also try the search string you suggested, thanks.

Go to "Edit current Profile" menu, click on the Title and Command tab and check the "Run command as login shell". That's it.
