[Bug 367954] Re: gnome-terminal does not honor x-terminal-emulator -e option

 

I am attempting to work with QtCreator, I found this bug via
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtcreator/+bug/566387 I can
confirm that this is still an issue in the latest version of Ubuntu;
xterm works correctly with QtCreator.

Title:
  gnome-terminal does not honor x-terminal-emulator -e option

Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

  Gnome-terminal does not honor the -e option in the same way as xterm
  does. It claims it is an alternative for x-terminal-emulator so
  according to the policy [1] it must honor the -e option in the same
  way as it does now with the -x option.

  Please don't specify to be an alternative if this is not the case,
  some programs depend on it.
