Recently I've changed my default shell from bash to zsh like this:

chsh -s /bin/zsh myname 

But when I invoke a new terminal (e.g. using ctrl+alt+T) I still have bash loaded:

myname@machine:~$ cat /etc/passwd | grep myname
myname:x:1000:1000:myname,,,:/home/myname:/bin/zsh
myname@machine:~$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash

zsh is installed and can be explicitly runned with zsh command.
How to deal with that?
