Hi, When I write

gnome-terminal --tab

at the terminal, I expect it to open a new tab in the same terminal window. But it opens a new window instead.

I found out that its intention is to open a new tab in a new window, i.e., if I write

gnome-terminal --tab --tab

it will open a new window with two tabs.

So, the question is, how can I open a new tab in the current window using a command in gnome-terminal?

I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 x64.
