Description

## Summary

It would be nice to have an option to connect to the terminal session using the "login shell" functionality.

## Motivation

This feature would help to support a few linux packages that require the "login shell" functionality. My use case would be RVM (Ruby Version Manager) that requires the feature for `ruby` to work.

## Describe alternatives you've considered

Right now i'm typing `/bin/bash --login` manually and it works fine as long as I don't leave the terminal

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating where the terminal session is launched and how its shell command or options are configured; done means providing a persistent login-shell option that supports the reported RVM use case without manually entering `/bin/bash --login`.
