[Bug 804459] Re: Open Terminal doesn't use default DE app

 

xapantu: it it better with the new description?
IMHO it should use data from [org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal] because GSettings is a GNOME API anyway and we're bound to GNOME in these parts anyway. If it doesn't exist (Marlin used in XFCE or something), fall back to /usr/share/x-terminal-emulator. This should be the most portable solution honoring DE application defaults at the same time.

** Summary changed:

- Open Terminal hardcodes terminal command
+ Open Terminal doesn't use default DE app

Title:
  Open Terminal doesn't use default DE app

Status in Marlin:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Open Terminal extension should call /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator instead of gnome-terminal.
  Especially useful since we will have a custom terminal emulator.
