[Bug 493602] [NEW] terminal app dysfunctionalism

 

Public bug reported:

If I use "launch in terminal", cairo-dock uses an xterm instead of
gnome-terminal.  The only way around this I have found is to move xterm
and create a symlink in /usr/bin "xterm"->gnome-terminal.

That is very hackish.  Does no one who uses cairo-dock use terminal
apps??!?

If you choose not to run in terminal and just set the command, eg
"gnome-terminal -e mc", cairo-dock just counts this as a terminal and
jumps to the nearest one instead of launching the command.

This makes it totally useless for my purposes, which is a shame.  Big
big oversight people.
