Bug Description

I have noted that every time I change folder in a Nautilus window, nautilus-terminal create a process named "bash". In the System Monitor I can see these processes that continue to grow and they are never closed. Only if I kill Nautilus, all "bash" processes are all closed.

I attach an image with the System Monitor window and the many "bash processes".

I use Ubuntu 10.04 64bit and nautilus-terminal 0.2.

I can confirm this bug. This is pretty serious, because each extra process uses up system resources. Wouldn't it be better to change the path of the existing terminal rather than to fork a new process?

It is not possible because nautilus need a new terminal at every path change......
