It's the gnome-session terminal-emulator thing, I'm pretty sure. gnome-session can override the alternatives sytem, so that users can use their favorite apps for web borwser, terminal, etc., and I'm assuming this user has the call to terminal pointing to gnome-terminal, which isn't there. This is why they are getting an error message in gnome, rather than a silent failure, which is what I experience when it's something outside of the gnome desktop. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
