Public bug reported:
[ Impact ]
Gnome terminal has a wrapper to make it compatible with the x-terminal-
emulator (i.e. generic xterm implementation), however, while the
arguments mapping is correct, when launching `x-terminal-emulator` the
control will return to the caller once the terminal has been dbus-
activated.
This is not expected by x-terminal-emulator, and so breaks the usage of
the terminal as fallback when the X11 session failed on startup.
[ Test case ]
When gnome-terminal is set as x-terminal-emulator (ensure this with
update-alternatives --query x-terminal-emulator), launch (from a
terminal):
x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+0+0
A terminal emulator should open in the top-left corner, and it should
stay open until you don't hit Ctrl+C from the launching terminal.
[ Regression potential ]
None known, possibly a failing launched X session could stay in black
screen instead of returning back to gdm promptly.
