There's still a bug, as the man page brings up the man page/options for

I think there is no bug... let' see:
sm01@stt008:~$ grep help /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator
elsif ($opt eq '-h' || $opt eq '--help')
push(@args, '--help');
The "help" command from "x-terminal-emulator" accepts both arguments, "-
h" and "--help") ;-)
Err... after re-reading my response I think I've completely lost my
bearings (I don't know how in hell I linked the "--help" parameter with
the man page, sorry).
Anyway, I think "gnome-terminal" does not have to share the same
arguments than "x-terminal-emulator" so IMO, still no bug (yes, the man
page launched is the one of "gnome-terminal" but that's the expected
because in the end the perl script points to "gnome-terminal" binary or
whatever terminal the user has setup as default).
Actually the perl script in this case only points to "gnome-terminal",
nothing else.
"x-terminal-emulator" is a symlink to
"/etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator", which is a symlink to the perl
script "/usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper".
I think that as the wrapper is translating x-terminal options to
gnome-terminal equivalents, it shouldn't pass through "-h" or "--help",
but should display a basic usage page for the options that *it* accepts.
Therefore I consider this to be a bug (albeit minor in nature). I just
use the native gnome-terminal options anyway.
