Bug description:
  We are using Ubuntu in a university network with lots of ldap users.
  To automatically map ldap users/groups to local groups we are using
  pam_group.so. This has worked for years.

  With the upgrade from Xenial to Bionic /etc/security/group.conf is not
  evaluated anymore by gnome-terminal as it runs as systemd --user.
  Xterm, ssh, su, and tty* however do work as expected. Only the default
  gnome-terminal behaves different.

  According to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=851243
  and https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=756458 this
  might not be a bug, but a feature.

  Nevertheless this behavior is very unexpected when upgrading from
  Xenial to Bionic and therefore should at least added to the changelog.
