Description

Would be great to use interactive, login terminals when using the Jupyter Notebook's New Terminal feature. So equivalent to bash -il. Important for things like system installs of conda 4.4+ to activate environments and generally put conda on the path correctly.

Side note: It may be this is the typical case and it doesn't work for me for some reason, which would also be good to isolate.

Research direction

Start at the Jupyter Notebook New Terminal feature and inspect how it invokes the shell. Reproduce the behavior with a system installation of conda 4.4+; done means a new terminal behaves like bash -il and makes conda environments available on the path.
