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

 

GSettings is not a gnome api, it is a part of gio (which is a part of
glib). Regarding x-terminal-emulator, ok, it could be the default one. 

For org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal, I don't have this
key, and it is better to use freedesktop standard, so, we'll use
x-terminal-emulator.

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.

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.
