[Qt-creator] 'Open Terminal Here' and login shell on Linux

Hi,

When right-clicking on a file in the project's tree there is an option 
to 'Open Terminal Here'.

If I understand correctly, the way the terminal is opened is the following:
1. Change to the directory where the file resides.
2. Execute "Tools -> Options -> Environment -> General -> Terminal" with 
the shell executable path appended. In my case it's /bin/bash but I 
guess Qt Creator actually takes /bin/sh or reads it from /etc/passwd or 
something like that.

My problem is that the shell isn't started as login shell and so the 
.profile is not read and I would really like it to do so :)

Can I change it somehow?

My terminal setting for the moment is:
/usr/bin/terminator -x

but I don't think it's relevant as it is the final executable (that is 
/bin/bash) that would have to be run with --login argument.

Thanks in advance!

BTW, as I'm new to the list, hello everyone :)
