title: Gnome-Terminal, how to start in a different directory?
body: <p>Whenever I start my console <code>gnome-terminal</code> in Ubuntu, it starts in the home directory. How can I make it start in a different directory say <code>~/myfolder</code>?
  I tried to write <code>cd ~/myfolder</code> in <code>~/.profile</code> but nothing happens.</p>
