Arturo Herrero's questions

I'm trying to integrate RVM with gnome-terminal.

Per default, gnome-terminal does not start bash as a login shell. I enabled run command as a login shell as suggested in this answer about the same topic setting up RVM, but when I do this the .bashrc file is not read.

For example, I create an environment variable in .bashrc and then when I start a new gnome-terminal I cannot read it. I need to run explicitly source .bashrc to read the file.

Is this the expected behavior?

I've never used this feature, but I think that in KDE Konsole Terminal you can configure sound notifications. This is the screenshot:

I find this useful when you execute a command client that wait for an event (like ping) or when finish a long script, you work in other task and hear your bell/alarm configured.

It is possible to achieve this with Gnome Terminal? Can I install other terminal over Gnome? Help me find some hack.
