Package: libglib2.0-0 Version: 2.42.1-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch, upstream
Hi, On MATE desktop, menu entries that have a "Terminal=true" line in their desktop file are opened in xterm instead of mate-terminal, and even fail if xterm isn't installed. This rudimentary patch fixes this by adding support for mate-terminal.wrapper as a substitute for xterm-based terminals. Natively supporting mate-terminal (since it has the same syntax than gnome-terminal, namely "-x" instead of "-e") should be possible but it would require a more complicated patch, and I'm no C coder, so I prefer doing something simple but unoptimized that works, instead of trying to optimize something at the risk of writing buggy/dirty/ugly code. Additionally, when writing this patch, I found something that looked weird to me but again, since I'm no C coder, I can't be sure and preferred not to touch: when checking for terminal programs in the path, xterm is checked, and if not found, the code falls back to... xterm (please look a couple of lines before/after the patched ones, and decide if this needs to be changed and/or forwarded upstream).
