Bug#275888: gnome-terminal: --tab-with-profile=profilename opens a new window

[Marius Gedminas]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.6.1-6
Severity: normal

$ man gnome-terminal
...
       --tab-with-profile=PROFILENAME
                 Open a new tab in the last-opened window with the given  pro-
                 file. More than one of these options can be provided.
...

When I call gnome-terminal --tab-with-profile=Mono (Mono is the name of my
default profile, as it uses the Andale Mono font) several times, every time a
new terminal window is opened.
