Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
When opening a file using double-click, if the .desktop file of the
associated application has "Terminal=true", nautilus uses "gnome-
terminal" to execute that application instead of the preferred terminal
application (as set through System->Preferences->Preferred
applications).
To reproduce, do the following:
1. sudo apt-get install xfce4-terminal
2. Using System->Preferences->Preferred applications, set
"xfce4-terminal --geometry=100x30" as preferred terminal application,
using "-x" as the execute flag
3. Put a text file on the Desktop
4. Create a new application launcher in the "Applications->Accesories"
menu. Choose "Application in Terminal" (so the resulting .desktop file
will have "Terminal=true"). We are going to use "Vim" as the test app,
so use "/usr/bin/vim -o %F" as the command in the launcher and name it
"Vim".
5. Associate the text file in the Desktop with "Vim" or just choose
"Open with Other Application..." and then choose Vim.
6. Double click on the text file. It should be opened with Vim residing
on xfce4-terminal, with 30 lines and 100 columns. Instead, it is opened
with Vim residing on gnome-terminal, with 25 lines and 80 columns.
7. Choose "Applications->Accesories->Vim". Vim is CORRECTLY opened using
xfce4-terminal with a geometry of 100x30.
So, the launcher works, it's just that the menu uses the preferred
application (correctly) and Nautilus doesn't.
Last tested in Ubuntu Hardy Heron with nautilus 2.22.5.1
