[Lubuntu-admins] [Bug 1752733] [NEW] Default terminal emulator is set to txiterm, which causes problems with certain characters

[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1752733@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Simon Quigley (tsimonq2):

On a clean install of Lubuntu Desktop 18.04, the default x-terminal-
emulator is set to txiterm, which comes from the package xiterm+thai.
With this terminal it's not possible to use characters with accents like
í or Á.

This is particularly troublesome when using a Brazilian Portuguese
install, as the Desktop folder is called "Área de Trabalho", Music is
"Música", Public is "Público" and Videos is "Vídeos". From a clean
install using the terminal, it's impossible to access or use the
directories "Música" or "Área de Trabalho". If another directory is
created and starts with "V", then "Vídeos" become inaccessible, the same
if a directory starting with "P" is created happens to Público.

Lubuntu has the lxterminal terminal emulator, which does not have this
problem, but the default x-terminal-emulator that is set is txiterm. If
the default x-terminal-emulator was lxterminal, this would not happen.
