Also the workaround does not work in that case. I can change the line in ~/.config/xfce4/helpers.rc to TerminalEmulator=xfce4-terminal However, clicking on the terminal launcher pops a dialog saying "No application selected" with a list of possible terminals. The xfce4 terminal is listed but the GNUStep terminal starts up and the line in the helpers.rc is changed back to TerminalEmulator=Terminal
xfce4-terminal is installed and works fine if I start it from that terminal :( goos news is, if I select the e.g. Debian X Terminal Emulator it works ... and the helpers.rc line shows correctly TerminalEmulator=debian-x-terminal-emulator -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/794720 Title: xubuntu desktop fails to respect "preferred applications" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exo/+bug/794720/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
