Yes, and I'm certain that that is the problem.

Interestingly I was just about to do that when I realised that I have
the same problem on the console. So it isn't a GNOME Terminal problem.
I've just now opened an xterm and a konsole and I have exactly the same
problem in them too -- root and other users do not.

My next thought was that it must be something in my .bashrc or in
my .bash_profile but they are pretty vanilla. What other files should I
look at?

Thanks, Darren
