Description umbrook0 2001-09-10 01:18:32 UTC
Right clicking on the desktop and choosing ``New Terminal'' always starts a
GNOME terminal, ignoring the program you've chosen in default applications in
the control center.

* REPRODUCIBLE: Always

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

Go to Control Center | Default Applications | Terminal.  Choose ``Standard
XTerminal.''

Right click on desktop, choose ``New Terminal.''


* ACTUAL RESULTS: 

 GNOME Terminal starts

* EXPECTED RESULTS: 

  The program I've chosen in the control center (in my case, a standard Xterm)
should start.

I made it use the GNOME default application, but it's far from perfect. For
example, since the GNOME default application and args are used by the panel to
start programs, I had to not use the args when doing New Terminal, because in
that case you don't want to execute a command in the window.

And GMC also didn't use the GNOME default application when doing New Terminal
(this code was copied straight out of GMC). Let me know if you find ways to
improve the new code -- I am a bit hamstrung by wanting to use the existing
setting rather than inventing a new one of my own.
