Hi, The problem at hand is the proposed (and implemented) solution for http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=332223 . I'm unconvinced that bumping the priority on the other terminal emulators is an adequate solution, hence I'm opening this "general" bug for discussion on how to reflect individual users' choices properly. It has been suggested on #debian-devel that maybe creating a per-user ~/bin with its own alternatives links might be an option, however there needs to be a fallback mechanism in case the currently selected option goes away. Perhaps it might be an idea to have a wrapper binary that will fall back on the highest precedence alternative in this case, or optionally show a menu (gee, there may be multiple wrapper programs, so there needs to be a mechanism to select them...NOT!). This message shall serve as a starting point for discussion. Please CC the bug in replies.
