How to open the gnome-terminal within the gnome-terminal without disowning

Question

If I open the gnome-terminal within the gnome-terminal, the newly created terminal automatically gets disowned from the parent.

Opening the gnome-terminal within the gnome-terminal

Some other applications do not.

Opening notepadqq in the gnome-terminal

How to simulate that behavior? How to not disown the new created terminal?

Thanks for your attention.

EDIT: For some reason, if I add the '--disable-factory' flag I get exactly the effect I want to get. Maybe there is something wrong with my config files.

That is not in fact what GNOME Terminal is doing. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/304269/ https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/226465/ https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/323663/ — JdeBP, Oct 31 '17 at 12:41
To simulate that behavior you'll have to start a new server and create terminals inside the newly created server. — don_crissti, Oct 31 '17 at 12:57

On newer gnome versions (tested on gnome 44), the solution to this is:

gnome-terminal --wait

I believe what you are looking to do is run the program in the "background". This can be done using the ampersand symbol (&) after the command:

$ notepadqq &

This is the opposite of what the user wants. They want to start gnome-terminal "in the foreground". – Kusalananda Mar 12 '18 at 19:58
