OK, it seems there is something to what you say;)

I did the comparison of login and non-login shell environments and they 
are exactly the same.

The point is that, I have functions defined in /etc/profile.d/ and 
(un)fortunately those aren't inherited by the non-login shells.

My solution for now is to explicitly source selected files from 
/etc/profile.d in ~/.bashrc for non-login shells.

It's not the perfect solution, because there are functions I would like 
to be defined for all the users at all times.

Unfortunately there don't seem to be a global file that is sourced when 
non-login shell is started. This reminds me on why I always was starting 
login shells ;)

What I tested and does not work for me:
/etc/bashrc
/etc/bash_profile
/etc/bash.bashrc


Are there any chances that additional settings for Terminal in Qt 
Creator could be added?
