Also, I've noticed something kind of odd with gnome-terminal... If I am in
one gnome-terminal and I define CVSROOT, and export it, when I open another
gnome-terminal (from the first), I dont see CVSROOT (using set). However,
if I open an xterm (from the first) I do see CVSROOT. Does anyone know why
the second gnome-terminal doesn't inherit the exported CVSROOT, while xterm
does?

If you use pstree, you'll be able to see why: there's only *one*
gnome-terminal process, and the two windows are simply sibling copies of
bash. Since the second copy of bash is not a descendant of the first, then
it won't have inherited the shell variables.
