[Tutor] os.getlogin()

[Rick Pasotto]

This is probably not actually a python problem but it's under python
that I encountered it.

>>> import os
>>> name = os.getlogin()

I'm running debian woody and gnome. This code works in the console and
gnome-terminal but it returns 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

when I run it in multi-gnome-terminal.

What has the author of multi-gnome-terminal done differently? Is there a
python work-around?
